This educational video explores contemporary antithrombotic management in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing PCI. Using evidence from AUGUSTUS and current ACC/AHA guidelines, it examines the role of apixaban, the bleeding impact of aspirin, and the rationale for early de-escalation from triple therapy to oral anticoagulant plus P2Y12 inhibitor therapy. The video also highlights how ischemic and bleeding risks should guide treatment duration, particularly in patients with complex PCI or high stent-thrombosis risk.
