Trade-off of major bleeding versus myocardial infarction on mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention

Open Heart

Background The choice of antithrombotic therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is heavily dependent on the relative trade-off between major bleeding (MB) and myocardial infarction (MI). However, the mortality trade-off was mostly described in Western populations and remained unknown in East Asians. Method This was a retrospective cohort study from 14 hospitals under the Hospital Authority of Hong Kong between 2004 and 2017.
