The aim of this study was to assess safety of antithrombotic drug ticagrelor plus oral anticoagulation adopted in persistent or permanent AF(Atrial fibrillation) patients(CHA2DS2VASc≥2) after PCI-S with specially regard to the occurrence of major bleeding complications. We hypothesized that baseline characteristics (ie age, anemia, previous major bleeding) and type of antithrombotic regimen could influence any bleeding events and the time of bleeding occurrence. We will test this hypothesis by comparing those AF patients who subsequently received double antithrombotic therapy (Ticagrelor + Warfarin) vs. triple antithrombotic therapy (Clopidogrel + Aspirin + Warfarin) after undergoing PCI-S.
