Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the cornerstone of pharmacological therapy preventing atherothrombotic complications. Advances in drug-eluting stent technology, antiplatelet pharmacotherapy, and novel parenteral and oral anticoagulants (OAC) have led to constant evolution in periprocedural antithrombotic strategy. The following chapter outlines our cardiac catheterization laboratory’s current approach to antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy in various clinical settings based on current guidelines and expert opinion.
