Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with or without acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represent a subgroup with a challenging pharmacological management. Indeed, if on the one hand antithrombotic therapy should reduce the risk related to recurrent ischemic events and/or stent thrombosis, on the other hand care should be taken to avoid major bleeding events. In recent years, several trials, which overall included more than 12 000 patients, have been conducted demonstrating the safety of different therapeutic combinations of oral antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents. In the present ANMCO position paper we propose a decision-making algorithm on antithrombotic strategies based on scientific evidence and expert consensus to be adopted in the periprocedural phase, at the time of hospital discharge and in the long-term follow-up of patients with AF undergoing PCI with/without ACS.
I pazienti con fibrillazione atriale (FA) sottoposti ad angioplastica coronarica (PCI) e/o con sindrome coronarica acuta (SCA) rappresentano un sottogruppo di difficile gestione farmacologica. Infatti, se da un lato è necessario ridurre il rischio correlato agli eventi ischemici ricorrenti, tra cui la trombosi dello stent, dall’altro bisogna evitare i sanguinamenti maggiori. Negli ultimi anni sono stati condotti diversi trial, che hanno complessivamente incluso più di 12 000 pazienti e che hanno dimostrato la sicurezza di varie combinazioni terapeutiche di antiaggreganti ed anticoagulanti orali. In questo position paper ANMCO proponiamo un algoritmo decisionale basato sulle evidenze scientifiche e sul consenso di esperti sulle strategie antitrombotiche da adottare nella fase periprocedurale, al momento della dimissione ospedaliera e nel follow-up a lungo termine dei pazienti con FA sottoposti a PCI e/o SCA.

Abstract
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with or without acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represent a subgroup with a challenging pharmacological management. Indeed, if on the one hand antithrombotic therapy should reduce the risk related to recurrent ischemic events and/or stent thrombosis, on the other hand care should be taken to avoid major bleeding events. In recent years, several trials, which overall included more than 12 000 patients, have been conducted demonstrating the safety of different therapeutic combinations of oral antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents. In the present ANMCO position paper we propose a decision-making algorithm on antithrombotic strategies based on scientific evidence and expert consensus to be adopted in the periprocedural phase, at the time of hospital discharge and in the long-term follow-up of patients with AF undergoing PCI with/without ACS.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
