Between 5–15% of them will require stenting at some point in their lives with the need for a triple therapy combining an oral anticoagulant, a P2Y12 Inhibitor and aspirin [1-3]. This combination requires careful evaluation of bleeding risk, stroke risk and the risk of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) to reduce the risk of major hemorrhage [4-6]. In this context, the PIONEER AF-PCI [7], trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of anticoagulation with rivaroxaban plus either one or two antiplatelet agents.<br></p> Archives of Hematology Case Reports and Reviews - Peertechz Publications 2016-12-30 Editorial https://doi.org/10.17352/ahcrr.000003 en Copyright © Maamar Kara et al.
