Dr Colleran shares the current definition and critical criteria of high-bleeding risk. Dr Al-Shaibi talks about variability in antiplatelet regimens in practice. Dr Valgimigli summarises the current body of evidence guiding practice. They discuss de-escalation therapy versus discontinuation of aspirin and studies that can help provide more robust evidence.
