Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of reducing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration to 1 month after implantation of the everolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium stent (CoCr-EES).

Detailed Description

The drug-eluting stents (DESs) are currently used in the majority of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. On the other hand, the problems of the first-generation DES (late adverse events, such as very late stent thrombosis) have been pointed out. Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has become a standard regimen after DES implantation and for fear of very late stent thrombosis, DAPT is frequently performed for 1 year or longer in clinical practice. However, serious hemorrhagic complications associated with a prolonged DAPT duration can bring disadvantages to patients, and it is extremely important to clarify an optimal DAPT duration after DES procedure. Currently, 1-month DAPT regimen after bare metal stent (BMS) implantation is commonly used in clinical practice, producing no major problems. Based on a meta-analysis of recent clinical studies, it has also been reported that the use of Cobalt-Chromium Everolimus-Eluting Stent (CoCr-EES) reduces the risk of early stent thrombosis by half compared to the use of BMS. There is no necessity to extend antiplatelet therapy after CoCr-EES implantation longer than after BMS implantation, and it is considered possible to use the same 1-month DAPT duration as after BMS implantation. The investigators therefore planned a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled study, in which the subjects who have undergone CoCr-EES procedure will be divided into the 1-month DAPT and clopidogrel monotherapy group and the 12-month DAPT and aspirin monotherapy group. Primary endpoint is the incidence of composite events including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, stroke, and bleeding defined by TIMI major or minor bleeding. At first, the non-inferiority about primary endpoint of 1-month DAPT group will be evaluated at 12 months after index procedure and secondarily, the superiority about primary endpoint of 1-month DAPT group will be evaluated at 5 years after index procedure.

Clinically-driven target lesion revascularization60-month

the revascularization that meets the following criteria; (1) recurrence of angina pectoris, presumably related to the target vessel, (2) objective signs of ischemia at rest or during exercise test (or equivalent), presumably related to the target vessel, (3) Signs of functional ischemia revealed by any invasive diagnostic test (e.g., Doppler flow velocity reserve \[FVR\], fractional flow reserve \[FFR\]), and (4) revascularization for ≥ 70% diameter stenosis even in the absence of the above-mentioned ischemic signs or symptoms.
