Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the rate of extended dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) beyond 12 months and to identify clinical factors associated with prolonged use in high-risk diabetic patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Subject and method: This prospective descriptive study involved 329 high-risk diabetic patients post-PCI at the University Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City. Clinical factors and outcomes were recorded and analyzed. Result: Of the 329 patients, 197 (60%) continued DAPT beyond 12 months. The recurrence rate of cardiovascular events was 20% in the group that discontinued DAPT after 12 months, compared to 8% in the group that maintained DAPT. The extended DAPT group experienced had a 12% bleeding rate, mainly gastrointestinal bleeding (8%) and epistaxis (4%). Conclusion: Prolonged DAPT use beyond 12 months in high-risk diabetic patients effectively prevents cardiovascular events but also increases the risk of bleeding. Careful consideration of risk factors and benefits is essential when deciding on extended DAPT duration.
