BACKGROUND: Prasugrel is more effective than clopidogrel in preventing thrombotic
complications after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients with
acute coronary syndromes (ACS), but it increases the risk of bleeding in
subgroups of patients. There is limited data on whether prasugrel use in routine
practice is targeted to clinical settings with greatest anticipated patient
benefit. METHODS: In a national cohort of 11 617 veterans who underwent PCI
between 2010 and 2013 at Veterans Administration hospitals nationwide, we
assessed overall trends in the use of prasugrel and the frequency of prasugrel
use in patients with contraindications (prior transient ischemic attack or
cerebrovascular accident), higher bleeding risk (age ?75 or weight <60 kg), and
nonindicated settings (non-acute coronary syndrome [non-ACS]). We then evaluated
the association between prasugrel use and 1-year risk-adjusted mortality,
myocardial infarction, and major bleeding rates. RESULTS: Overall, 1040 (9.0%)
patients who received prasugrel after PCI were included. Prasugrel was
infrequently used in contraindicated (2.4%) or higher-bleeding-risk (1.8%)
settings. Additionally, 35.8% of patients received prasugrel in settings that
lack evidence of clinical benefit (ie, non-ACS). Compared with clopidogrel, there
were no significant differences in risk-adjusted mortality, myocardial
infarction, or major bleeding outcomes with prasugrel therapy at 1-year
follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Prasugrel use after PCI in the Veterans Administration is
low and prasugrel was rarely used in contraindicated or high-bleeding-risk
settings. However, a third of patients received prasugrel for off-label non-ACS
indications that lack efficacy data.
