Abbreviations used in table 1, ST: Stent thrombosis; MI: myocardial infraction; TVR: target vessel revascularization; DES: Drug-eluting stent; gen.: generation; BES: Biolimus-eluting stent; BMS: Bare metal stent; EES: Everolimus-eluting stent; ZES: Zotarolimus-eluting stent; PES: paclitaxel-eluting stent; SES: sirolimus-eluting stent.
  2. *Patients in ARCTIC-Interruption and DES-LATE Study had previous DAPT. DES-LATE study had cumulative data for primary and secondary outcomes in the research article supplement.
  3. #1DES-LATE study allowed patient enrolment with 1 year or longer after percutaneous coronary intervention.
  4. #2DAPT study allowed enrolment of patients with BMS but they were not included in statistical analysis.
  5. #3In ISAR-SAFE study, the number of patients who received BMS, drug-coated balloon and plain balloon angioplasty were 8 (0.4%), 8 (0.4%) and 2 (0.1%) for 6-month DAPT; 6 (0.3%), 8 (0.4%) and 2 (0.1%) for 12-month DAPT respectively.
  6. #4In PRODIGY study, the number of patients who received BMS were 246 (24.9%) for 6-month DAPT; 246 (25.0%) for 24-month DAPT respectively.
  7. #5First year data of ITALIC study has been published.
