DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2016.10.043
Conclusions: The use of DAPT in patients with diabetes post-CABG in our cohort was high. Compared with aspirin monotherapy, no associated differences were observed in cardiovascular or bleeding outcomes, suggesting that routine use of DAPT may not be clinically warranted.
