P2Y12 inhibitor before early invasive strategy
• As the optimal timing of ticagrelor or clopidogrel administration in NSTE-ACS patients scheduled for an invasive strategy has not been adequately investigated, no recommendation for or against pretreatment with these agents can be formulated.
• In patients not scheduled for an invasive strategy, P2Y12 inhibitor recommended as soon as diagnosis established (and ticagrelorpreferred over clopidogrel in absence of increased bleeding risk)
(2011: ‘as soon as possible’)

Radial approach
• It is recommended that centres treating ACS patients implement a transition from transfemoral to transradial access.
• Proficiency in the femoral approach should be maintained (e.g. for IABP insertion and structural as well as peripheral procedures)

Antiplatelet therapy after stenting on OAC
Adapted from Lip et al. Eur Heart J 2014;35:3155–3179.aDual therapy with oral anticoagulation and clopidogrel may be considered in selected patients (low ischaemic risk).baspirin as an alternative to clopidogrel may be considered in patients on dual therapy (i.e., oral anticoagulation plus single antiplatelet); triple
therapy may be considered up to 12 months in patients at very high risk for ischaemic events.cDual therapy with oral anticoagulation and an antiplatelet agent (aspirin or clopidogrel) beyond one year may be considered in patients at very
high risk of coronary events. In patients undergoing coronary stenting, dual antiplatelet therapy may be an alternative to triple or dual therapy if the
CHA2DS2-VASc score is 1 (males) or 2 (females).
