  Background: In non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), using antiplatelet drugs in addition to anticoagulants for stroke prevention may further increase the bleeding risk. Several guidelines have recommended an oral anticoagulant (OAC) monotherapy in patients with stable CAD one year after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). When considering early neointima healing of current 3rd generation drug-eluting stents (DESs), the duration of the de-escalation from a single antiplatelet drug plus an OAC to an OAC alone therapy can be shortened by less than one year after PCI. The data on the clinical acceptability of short durations for de-escalation to an edoxaban monotherapy in those patients are still lacking. Methods: A multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel group study has been established to investigate the safety out.. View More»
