Tieshi Zhu: NHANES Study Reveals Significant Mortality Risk With Clopidogrel Monotherapy After PCI

Platelets Journal shared an insightful post on LinkedIn:

“How does clopidogrel monotherapy compare to aspirin after PCI and DAPT?

Building on a recent Korean study that highlighted the efficacy of clopidogrel monotherapy following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), Zhu et al. (2025) conducted a retrospective analysis of the U.S. NHANES 1999–2018 cohort to compare all-cause mortality between clopidogrel and aspirin monotherapy under similar conditions.

Contrary to previous findings in Asian populations, the authors found that clopidogrel monotherapy was associated with increased risks of all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, and stroke compared to aspirin monotherapy.”
