Algorithm for dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients with an indication for oral anticoagulation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Colour-coding refers to the number of concomitant antithrombotic medication(s). Triple therapy denotes treatment with DAPT plus oral anticoagulant (OAC). Dual therapy denotes treatment with a single antiplatelet agent (aspirin or clopidogrel) plus. ABC = age, biomarkers, clinical history; ACS = acute coronary syndrome; mo. = month(s); PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention. 1: Periprocedural administration of aspirin and clopidogrel during PCI is recommended irrespective of the treatment strategy. 2: High ischaemic risk is considered as an acute clinical presentation or anatomical/procedural features which might increase the risk for myocardial infarction. 3: Bleeding risk can be estimated by HAS-BLED or ABC score.
