Question: 1 / 1820

How long should a bare metal stent be treated with DAPT post CABG?

1 month

Bare metal stents are typically used for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures to help keep the arteries open and prevent future blockages. Post CABG, patients are usually prescribed dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to prevent blood clots from forming around the stent. Often, DAPT is recommended for 6-12 months post CABG for bare metal stents. However, recent studies have shown that 1 month of DAPT may be just as effective in preventing complications such as blood clots while decreasing the risk of bleeding. Therefore, option A is the most correct answer as it reflects the latest recommendation for duration of DAPT post bare metal stenting. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest a longer treatment duration for DAPT, which may increase the risk of bleeding without providing added benefits.
