Abdul Rehman Abid: DAPT vs Aspirin Monotherapy Beyond 12 Months Following Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation

Abdul Rehman Abid, 3rd Year Medical Student at Continental Medical College, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis, adding:

“Excited to share that my very first meta-analysis was published in the Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis!

Our study is based around a key question in interventional cardiology: evaluating extended dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) vs. aspirin monotherapy beyond 12 months following drug-eluting stent implantation, incorporating Trial Sequential Analysis (TSA).

Working on this project gave me a firsthand look at the sheer amount of work that goes into clinical guidelines, from screening trials and appraising data quality to running Trial Sequential Analysis to see if the data truly holds up.

So grateful to the incredible team of co-authors and mentors who guided me along the way.”
