Core Tip The combination of proton pump inhibitor and dual antiplatelet therapy, in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, has raised concerns because of the risk of drug-drug interaction potentially reducing clopidogrel efficacy and increasing ischemic risk. A recent meta-analysis, by methodically isolating randomized data from observational biases, proved that the increased cardiovascular risk seen in prior literature was a product of patient-level confounding rather than true biological harm and provided reassurance regarding the safety of combining proton pump inhibitors with clopidogrel.
