About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Cardiac Death

Eligibility Criteria

75 Years - undefined (Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) with an indication for percutaneous coronary intervention who can tolerate no more than one month of DAPT. This includes candidates with stable angina, silent ischemia, ACS (STEMI and non-STEMI), non-native lesions and in-stent restenosis. Patients must provide written informed consent.

Reasons of unsuitability for > 1 month dual antiplatelet treatment must include one or MORE of the following:

  1. Adjunctive oral anticoagulation treatment planned to continue after PCI
  2. Age ≥ 75 years old
  3. Baseline Hgb <11 g/dl (or anemia requiring transfusion during the 4 weeks prior to inclusion into the trial)
  4. Any prior intracerebral bleed
  5. Any stroke in the last 12 months
  6. Hospital admission for bleeding during the prior 12 months
  7. Non skin cancer diagnosed or treated ≤ 3 years
  8. Planned daily NSAID (other than aspirin) or steroids for ≥ 30 days after PCI
  9. Planned surgery that would require interruption of DAPT (within next 12 months)
  10. Renal failure defined as: Creatinine clearance <40 ml/min
  11. Thrombocytopenia (PLT <100,000/mm3)
  12. Severe chronic liver disease defined as: patients who have developed any of the following: variceal hemorrhage, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy or jaundice
  13. Expected non-compliance to prolonged DAPT for other medical reasons

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant and breastfeeding women
  2. Patients expected not to comply with 1 month DAPT
  3. Patients requiring a planned staged PCI procedure more than one week after the index procedure
  4. Procedure requires the use of non-study stents, or alternative therapeutic options not followed by stent implantation (angioplasty only, atherectomy only).
  5. Active bleeding at the time of inclusion
  6. If patient requires a stent <2.5mm
  7. If patient requires a stent >3.5mm
  8. Cardiogenic shock
  9. Compliance with long-term single anti-platelet therapy unlikely
  10. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, clopidogrel (or to any another P2Y12 inhibitor if applicable), cobalt chromium, zinc, Biolimus A9TM or a sensitivity to contrast media, which cannot be adequately pre-medicated
  11. PCI during the previous 12 months for a lesion other than the target lesion
  12. Participation in another clinical trial (12 months after index procedure)
  13. Patients with a life expectancy of < 1 year
