Overview
This on-demand version of the live roundtable, chaired by Prof Marco Valgimigli (Cardiocentro Ticino Institute, Lugano, CH), demonstrates how to prioritise bleeding and ischaemic risks in coronary arterial disease (CAD) management. Key opinion leaders Prof Diana Gorog (University of Hertfordshire, UK), Prof Felicita Andreotti (Gemelli University Hospital, Rome, IT) and Prof Eliano Navarese (University of Sassari, Sardinia Island, IT) uncover expert insights on optimal anti-thrombotic strategies for complex patients as we bridge the gaps in current understanding.
This programme features three compelling patient case studies, offering real-world scenarios that bring the discussion to life. Gain invaluable knowledge from thought leaders, unravel the complexities of risk balancing, and leave with a deeper understanding of optimal anti-thrombotic approaches.
Key Learning Objectives
- Recall current rates of inappropriate antiplatelet dosing in CAD patients
- Identify clinical risk factors associated with enhanced ischaemic or bleeding risk in CAD
- Select evidence-based antiplatelet regimens for complex patients including those at high bleeding risk and high ischaemic risk
- Provide appropriate education to patients that addresses factors leading to premature discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy
- Individualise antiplatelet treatment taking into account clinical risk and patient lifestyle, limitations and preference
Target Audience
- Cardiologists
- Interventional Cardiologists
- Primary Care Physicians
- Nurses, Pharmacists
- Other Allied HCPs

Part 1
Patient Case 1
In this first part, Prof Felicita Andreotti presents our first patient case. Whilst the audience vote on their management strategy, Prof Andreotti discusses how much input she normally encourages from the patient or their family when considering the optimal antiplatelet regimen. Following the case presentation, the panel share what their approach would have been and answer selected audience questions.

Part 2
Patient Case 2
In this second part, Prof Diana Gorog presents our next patient case. Prof Gorog shares the patient’s bleeding and ischaemic risk profile, and the audience vote on the antiplatelet regimen they would use, before revealing the final management approach. The panel also address questions from the audience.

Part 3
Patient Case 3
In this third part, Prof Eliano Navarese presents our final patient case, and the audience vote on whether the patient is high bleeding risk, high ischaemic risk, or both. Prof Navarese discusses the most concerning clinical risks when considering how to treat patients like this.

Part 4
Panel Discussion and Key Learnings
In this final part, the panel discuss the main barriers to adherence, how patient preference can be factored into treatment selection, and what key information should be communicated to patients and their families. The panel also address audience questions and Prof Valgimigli closes the session by summarising the key learnings.
