Direct-acting Anticoagulants in Chronic Coronary Syndromes

Direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are easier to use, safer than and as effective as vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in the treatment of non-valvular AF (NVAF). Because of their favourable safety profile and easier use than VKAs, DOACs as anti-thrombotic therapy may have a role in the management...

A dabigatran 150 mg regimen showed similar results. Apixaban 5 mg twice daily plus a P2Y12 inhibitor versus a VKA regimen confirmed at 6 months the safety of DOACs with a reduction of bleedings (HR 0.69; 95% CI [0.58–0.81]; p<0.001 for non-inferiority and superiority). Edoxaban 60 mg once daily plus a P2Y12 inhibitor was non-inferior to a VKA regimen on bleeding outcomes (major bleeding or non-major clinically relevant non-major bleeding) after a 12-month follow-up (HR 0.83; 95% CI [0.65–1.05]; p=0.001 for non-inferiority; p=0.1154 for superiority).
