A New Strategy for Discontinuation of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy: The RESET Trial (REal Safety and Efficacy of 3-month dual antiplatelet Therapy following Endeavor zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation)

The goal of this study was to evaluate shorter duration (3 months) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.

Description
Summary:The goal of this study was to evaluate shorter duration (3 months) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. There have been few published reports of prospective randomized clinical studies comparing the safety and efficacy of shorter duration DAPT after DES implantation. We randomly assigned 2,117 patients with coronary artery stenosis into 2 groups according to DAPT duration and stent type: 3-month DAPT following Endeavor zotarolimus-eluting stent (E-ZES) implantation (E-ZES+3-month DAPT, n=1,059) versus 12-month DAPT following the other DES implantation (standard therapy, n=1,058). We hypothesized that the E-ZES+3-month DAPT would be noninferior to the standard therapy for the primary composite endpoint (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, target\vessel revascularization, or bleeding) at 1 year. The primary endpoint occurred in 40 (4.7%) patients assigned to E-ZES+3-month DAPT compared with 41 (4.7%) patients assigned to the standard therapy (difference: 0.0%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.5 to 2.5; p=0.84; p
