One drug at a time: new study aims to cut bleeding risk in heart patients

NCT ID NCT05955365

First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new approach for people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who receive a heart stent. Instead of taking multiple blood thinners together for months, participants will take just one drug at a time: an antiplatelet for the first month, then a different blood thinner long-term. The goal is to see if this simpler plan lowers the risk of serious bleeding while still preventing strokes and heart attacks. About 3,010 adults will take part.
