Single blood thinner after stent placement for heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether taking just one blood-thinning medicine (instead of two) after a stent procedure helps prevent future heart problems while lowering the risk of bleeding. It's for people who recently had a heart attack or unstable chest pain and had a stent placed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether taking a single blood-thinning medication (instead of two) after heart stent placement is safe and effective over the long term. If you've recovered well from a stent procedure, this trial may help determine the safest way to prevent future heart problems.
This study compares two different daily doses of aspirin (50 mg vs 100 mg) when taken with a standard blood thinner (P2Y12 inhibitor) after getting a heart stent. It aims to see if a lower aspirin dose works just as well with fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether choosing a shorter blood thinner treatment based on your genes, or reducing the dose, is safe and works well for people with high bleeding risk after getting a stent for a heart attack or chest pain.
This trial tests different blood thinner medicines after a heart stent is placed. It aims to find the best way to prevent blood clots while reducing bleeding risk.
This study tests a shorter, gentler blood thinner plan after getting a heart stent. It is designed for people who have had a heart attack or unstable angina and who are at higher risk of bleeding, to help prevent future heart problems with less bleeding risk.
This study compares two ways to manage blood thinners after a stent. It tests whether switching from stronger drugs (prasugrel or ticagrelor) to clopidogrel is safe and effective for long-term heart protection.
