Zeyad Kholeif: New Evidence Challenges Routine Triple Antithrombotic Therapy After Anterior STEMI
Zeyad Kholeif, Resident Doctor at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas Internal Medicine Residency, Research Scholar at Mayo Clinic, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleges co-authored, published in Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, adding:
”New Publication!
Our updated meta-analysis is now published in Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis.
7 studies | 2,273 patients
Compared with DAPT alone, prophylactic triple antithrombotic therapy after anterior STEMI:
- Did not significantly reduce LV thrombus
- No reduction in mortality or thromboembolic events
- Increased major bleeding
Take-home message: Routine prophylactic triple therapy may not be justified—careful patient selection remains essential.”
