The goal of this research is to show that a shorter duration of two antiplatelet medications (compared to the standard of care) is safe and effective while reducing the risk of bleeding complications. Bleeding complications can cause significant problems (hospitalizations, need for blood transfusions, and even death) for patients on antiplatelet medications after coronary stents. Researchers hope to show that reducing the time on two antiplatelet agents in patients at high risk for these bleeding complications will reduce the number of bleeding events while not causing any increase in cardiovascular complications (heart attack, stent malfunction, death).
