    AbstractThe recommended duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention with a drug-eluting stent has changed from 1 year for all to a more personalized approach based on the patient's risks of ischemia and bleeding. The trend is toward shorter treatment in view of lower rates of late and very late stent thrombosis with newer drug-eluting stents and the risk of bleeding with DAPT. But some patients at high risk of ischemic events and low risk of bleeding may benefit from longer treatment.Copyright © 2021 The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. All Rights Reserved.
