Terapia Antiplaquetaria Dual
    • La inhibición de las plaquetas es una estrategia clave para prevenir recurrencia de
      eventos isquémicos en pacientes

          – Con sindromes coronarios agudos1,2

          – Sometidos a PCI3
    • Las metas de este tratamiento son la inhibición rápida, consistente y efectiva de la
      activación y agregación plaquetaria3-5
    • La terapia antiplaquetaria dual con AAS y una tienopiridina constituyen el goal
      standard de tratamiento en pacientes con SCA desde que se inicia y progresa la
      terapia intervencional
    • Las preguntas pendientes: ¿Duración del tratamiento? ¿ Efecto en prevención
      secundaria en pacientes con aterotrombosis? ¿Eficacia en tratamiento médico?
      ¿Riesgo de hemorragias? ¿Alternativas diferentes?

CURRENT-OASIS 7: Conclusiones Autores


Test a doble dosis de clopidogrel redujo significativamente la
trombosis de stents y eventos CV mayores.

En pacientes no sometidos a PCI la doble dosis de clopidogrel
no tuvo diferencia con la dosis estándar.

Un exceso modesto de hemorragias mayores por criterios
CURRENT, pero no hubo diferencias en HIC, hemorragias
fatales.

• Direct acting
   – Not a pro-drug; does not require metabolic activation
   – Rapid onset of inhibitory effect on the P2Y12 receptor
   – Greater inhibition of platelet aggregation than clopidogrel

• Reversibly bound
   – Degree of inhibition reflects plasma concentration
   – Faster offset of effect than clopidogrel
   – Functional recovery of circulating platelets within ~48 hours

Recommendations for patients undergoing CABG:
Study drugs withheld prior to surgery – 5 days for clopidogrel and 24–72 hours for
ticagrelor. Study drug be restarted as soon as possible after surgery and prior to        PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention

   Trombina es el principal activador de la plaqueta.
   Actúa a través de receptor PAR-1 .
   El bloqueo de los receptores PAR-1 tendría ventajas potenciales en el corto
    y largo plazo.

Conclusiones
►   Los pacientes con bajo peso o signos de insuficiencia renal
    tienen mayor riesgo de sangrado con terapia dual.


►   En esos casos las dosis de AAS deben ser bajas y las
    tienopiridinas y bloqueadores ADP deben reducirse a la
    mitad de la dosis.


►   La terapia dual está contraindicada en pacientes con
    antecedentes de AVE previo por mayor riesgo de HIC.
Conclusiones
►   Actualmente importante “armamentario” de antiagregantes
    plaquetarios para el manejo de los SCA y uso rutinario en
    PCI.
►   Bloqueo plaquetario triple: atractiva posibilidad pero riesgo
    de más hemorragias
►   Mejores perspectivas para TAD:
    ●   Prasugrel
    ●   Ticagrelor
    ●   Vorapaxar (??)

Through the development of new imaging modalities and specific therapeutics that serve as probes, microvascular obstruction, owing to embolization, has become increasingly recognized as an important sequelae of atherosclerotic and atherothrombotic vascular disease. 1 Thrombus formation on an atherosclerotic plaque is a dynamic process in which platelets aggregate but also spontaneously disaggregate, leading to embolization of platelet aggregates from an evolving thrombus, which can lead to inflammation or microvascular obstruction. 2 Additionally, particulate matter may also shed from the ruptured atherosclerotic lesion. 2 Altogether, the release of microemboli, which occurs while a plaque is active and can last for hours, days or weeks, leads to microvascular obstruction in the myocardium, brain or peripheral tissues, resulting for example in cardiac insufficiency or vascular dementia. 2
  2. Background on antiplatelet therapy Pharmacological inhibition of platelets with a combination of aspirin (ASA) and a thienopyridine is a currently recommended approach to prevent recurrent ischemic events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). 1-3 The goals of antiplatelet therapy are to provide rapid and consistent high levels of inhibition of platelet activation and aggregation. Important clinical benefits have been demonstrated with current antiplatelet treatments in large, multinational trials over the last decade resulting in clinical guidelines for antiplatelet therapy. 1 Anderson JL et al.

  3. TRITON-TIMI 38 was a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multinational, clinical trial. Approximately 13000 patients with moderate to high-risk ACS undergoing PCI (9500 unstable angina/non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [MI], 3500 ST-segment elevation MI) were randomized to prasugrel 60 mg loading dose followed by 10 mg daily or clopidogrel 300 mg loading dose followed by 75 mg daily for up to 15 months. The primary end point was the time of the first event of cardiovascular death, MI, or stroke. Analyses were performed first in the unstable angina/non–ST-segment elevation MI cohort and, conditionally, on the whole ACS population. Major safety end points included TIMI major and minor bleeding unrelated to coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
  4. To compare prasugrel, a new thienopyridine, with clopidogrel, the authors randomly assigned 13,608 patients with moderate-to-high-risk acute coronary syndromes with scheduled percutaneous coronary intervention to receive prasugrel (a 60-mg loading dose and a 10-mg daily maintenance dose) or clopidogrel (a 300-mg loading dose and a 75-mg daily maintenance dose), for 6 to 15 months. The primary efficacy end point was death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke. The key safety end point was major bleeding. Results: The primary efficacy end point occurred in 12.1% of patients receiving clopidogrel and 9.9% of patients receiving prasugrel (hazard ratio for prasugrel vs. clopidogrel, 0.81; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.73 to 0.90; P&lt;0.001). The authors also found significant reductions in the prasugrel group in the rates of myocardial infarction (9.7% for clopidogrel vs. 7.4% for prasugrel; P&lt;0.001), urgent target-vessel revascularization (3.7% vs. 2.5%; P&lt;0.001), and stent thrombosis (2.4% vs. 1.1%; P&lt;0.001). Major bleeding was observed in 2.4% of patients receiving prasugrel and in 1.8% of patients receiving clopidogrel (hazard ratio, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.68; P = 0.03). Also greater in the prasugrel group was the rate of life-threatening bleeding (1.4% vs. 0.9%; P = 0.01), including nonfatal bleeding (1.1% vs. 0.9%; hazard ratio, 1.25; P = 0.23) and fatal bleeding (0.4% vs. 0.1%; P = 0.002). Figure: Cumulative Kaplan–Meier estimates of the rates of key study end points during the follow-up period showing data for the primary efficacy end point (death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction [MI], or nonfatal stroke). In the overall cohort, a total of 781 patients (12.1%) in the clopidogrel group had the primary end point, as compared with 643 patients (9.9%) in the prasugrel group (hazard ratio, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.90; P&lt;0.001), supporting the primary hypothesis of superior efficacy. Conclusions: In patients with acute coronary syndromes with scheduled percutaneous coronary intervention, prasugrel therapy was associated with significantly reduced rates of ischemic events, including stent thrombosis, but with an increased risk of major bleeding, including fatal bleeding. Overall mortality did not differ significantly between treatment groups.

Figure: The rate of definite or probable stent thrombosis, as defined by the Academic Research Consortium, was significantly reduced in the prasugrel group as compared with the clopidogrel group, with 68 patients (1.1%) and 142 patients (2.4%), respectively, having at least one occurrence (hazard ratio, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.64; P&lt;0.001). Conclusions: In patients with acute coronary syndromes with scheduled percutaneous coronary intervention, prasugrel therapy was associated with significantly reduced rates of ischemic events, including stent thrombosis, but with an increased risk of major bleeding, including fatal bleeding. Overall mortality did not differ significantly between treatment groups.
