Optimal Duration of Antiplatelet Therapy After Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Implantation to Reduce Late Coronary Arterial Thrombotic Events

Prior treatment

• Contraindication to antiplatelet therapy

Other illness

• Continuous administration of clopidogrel is impossible due to comorbidities of the patient (major bleeding history, bleeding diathesis)
• Cardiac co-morbid conditions are present with life expectancy \<1 year or that may result in protocol non-compliance (per site investigator's medical judgment).

Lab values

• If the physician believes that the patient need continuation of dual anti-platelet therapy because of comorbidities (ACS, peripheral vascular disease, significant carotid disease, etc.)

Other

• Pregnancy test positive (hCG test is performed before randomization in all fertile women)

• Men or women at least 19 years of age
• Patients undergoing dual- or triple-antiplatelet therapy at least 12-14 months after PCI with BVS
• Among the participants underwent PCI with BVS, event-free patients who survived the first 12 months without death, serious MI, stroke, repeat revascularization or major bleeding (except non-significant peri-procedural MI)
• The patient or guardian agrees to the study protocol and the schedule of clinical follow-up, and provides informed, written consent, as approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board/Ethical Committee of the respective clinical site.
