Abstract
The XIENCE family of everolimus-eluting stents ranks among the most used and most widely studied drug-eluting stents worldwide. In patients at high bleeding risk undergoing non-complex percutaneous coronary intervention with these stents, a shortened dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) regimen of 1–3 months appears to be associated with a reduced rate of major bleeding, a similar rate of ischaemic events and a very low incidence of stent thrombosis after DAPT discontinuation compared with DAPT up to 12 months.
