BACKGROUND: Several professional society guidelines suggest holding antiplatelet agents before high-risk procedures. However, there is lack of high-grade evidence to support the recommendation as most of the studies have been single center with small sample sizes. We aimed to perform the first systematic review and meta-analysis comparing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) versus aspirin alone in terms of postendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) bleeding.

METHODS: Three independent reviewers performed a comprehensive review of all original articles published from inception to May 2020, evaluating the post-ERCP bleeding rate in setting of DAPT. Primary outcomes were the overall post-ERCP bleeding rate with the use of dual antiplatelet therapy; comparison of post-ERCP bleeding rate in patients with DAPT versus aspirin alone. Secondary outcomes were comparison of immediate and delayed post-ERCP bleeding outcomes in the 2 cohorts.

RESULTS: Six studies were included after a thorough search was concluded using the key words. The pooled analysis of studies revealed an overall post-ERCP bleeding rate of 5.7% (95% confidence interval: 3-10.6) on sustained DAPT. Post-ERCP bleeding in DAPT Cohort was not significantly higher as compared with aspirin only Cohort (odds ratio: 1.14, 95% confidence interval: 0.46-2.81). The immediate bleeding and delayed bleeding rates cannot be generalized due to low number of studies.

CONCLUSIONS: The first systematic review and meta-analysis showed that post-ERCP bleeding rates are not significantly higher in DAPT cohort as compared with aspirin alone. Therefore, the risk of bleeding is less likely related to the antiplatelet agents and more likely related to the procedure itself.
