A P2Y12 inhibitor-based monotherapy after a short period of dual antiplatelet therapy is emerging as a plausible strategy to decrease bleeding events in high-risk patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention. Ticagrelor With Aspirin or Alone in High-Risk Patients After Coronary Intervention (TWILIGHT), a randomized double-blind trial, tested this approach by dropping aspirin at 3 months and continuing with ticagrelor monotherapy for an additional 12 months. The study enrolled 9,006 patients, of whom 7,119 who tolerated 3 months of dual antiplatelet therapy were randomized after 3 months into two arms: ticagrelor plus placebo and ticagrelor plus aspirin. The primary endpoint of interest, Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding, occurred less frequently in the experimental arm (HR 0.56; 95% CI [0.45–0.68]; p<0.001), whereas the secondary endpoint of ischemic events was similar between the two arms (HR 0.99; 95% CI [0.78–1.25]). Transition from dual antiplatelet therapy consisting of ticagrelor plus aspirin to ticagrelor-based monotherapy in high-risk patients at 3 months after percutaneous coronary intervention resulted in a lower risk of bleeding events without an increase in risk of death, MI, or stroke.

Abstract Aims Patients with history of myocardial infarction (MI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain at risk of recurrent ischaemic events. The optimal antithrombotic strategy for this cohort remains debated. Methods and results In this prespecified analysis of the TWILIGHT trial, we evaluated the impact of prior MI on treatment effect of ticagrelor monotherapy vs. ticagrelor plus aspirin in patients undergoing PCI with at least one clinical and one angiographic high-risk feature and free from adverse events at 3 months after the index PCI. The primary endpoint was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 2, 3, or 5, the key secondary endpoint was the composite of all-cause death, MI, or stroke, both at 12 months after randomization. 1937 (29.7%) patients with and 4595 (70.3%) without prior MI were randomized to ticagrelor and placebo or ticagrelor and aspirin. Patients with prior MI had increased rates of death, MI or stroke (5.7 vs. 3.2%, P &lt; 0.001) but similar BARC 2–5 bleeding (5.0 vs. 5.5%, P = 0.677). Ticagrelor monotherapy reduced the risk of BARC 2–5 bleeding in patients with [3.4% vs. 6.7%; hazard ratio (HR): 0.50; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.33–0.76] and without prior MI [4.2% vs. 7.0%; HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.45–0.76; pinteraction = 0.54). Rates of the key secondary ischaemic outcome were similar between treatment groups irrespective of history of MI (prior MI: 6.0% vs. 5.5%; HR: 1.09; 95% CI: 0.75–1.58; no prior MI: 3.1% vs. 3.3%; HR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.67–1.28; pinteraction = 0.52). Conclusions Ticagrelor monotherapy is associated with significantly lower risk of bleeding events as compared to ticagrelor plus aspirin without any compromise in ischaemic prevention among high-risk patients with history of MI undergoing PCI.
