In CAE, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and oral anticoagulation (OAC) were associated with fewer ischemic events than no therapy, although direct comparisons were inconsistent. The only randomized trial in CAE showed numerically lower recurrent myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death with single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) plus direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) versus DAPT, but findings were nonsignificant and based on few events.
