Brief Summary
A prospective, multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled, and superiority trial. The trial will compare clinical outcomes between discontinuation of antiplatelet agent and continuation of antiplatelet agent in HBR patients with chronic coronary syndrome treated by DCB angioplasty and standard duration of DAPT, followed by maintenance of single antiplatelet agent without clinical event for at least 1 year from the index procedure.

Discontinuation of antiplatelet agent group
EXPERIMENTALIn this group, antiplatelet monotherapy will be discontinued at the time of randomization. Randomization will be performed at 1 year from the index procedure using DCB angioplasty, standard duration of DAPT (1-3 months), and maintenance of antiplatelet monotherapy at least 1 year from the index procedure in patients with HBR and chronic coronary syndrome. In patients who are still under DAPT at 1 year from index DCB angioplasty, all antiplatelet agents will be discontinued after randomization.
Continuation of antiplatelet agent group
ACTIVE COMPARATORIn this group, lifelong antiplatelet monotherapy will be continued after the time of randomization. Randomization will be performed at 1 year from the index procedure using DCB angioplasty, standard duration of DAPT (1-3 months), and maintenance of antiplatelet monotherapy at least 1 year from the index procedure in patients with HBR and chronic coronary syndrome. In patients who are still under DAPT at 1 year from index DCB angioplasty, DAPT will be changed to single antiplatelet therapy (aspirin or clopidogrel). The choice between aspirin or clopidogrel will be determined by the physician's discretion.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subject must be at least 19 years of age
- Subject who is able to understand risks, benefits and treatment alternatives and sign informed consent voluntarily.

Hospital admission for bleeding during the prior 12 months E. Non skin cancer diagnosed or treated \< 3 years F. Planned daily NSAID (other than aspirin) or steroids for \>30 days after PCI G.

Hematological disorders (platelet count \<100,000/mm3 or any coagulation disorder) J. Severe chronic liver disease defined as patients who have developed any of the following: variceal hemorrhage, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy or jaundice K. Expected non-compliance to secondary prevention medications after PCI for other medical reasons
- Patients who completed standard duration of DAPT (1-3months) and followed by maintenance of single antiplatelet agent (aspirin or P2Y12 inhibitor) for at least 1 year from index procedure.
- No bleeding (BARC 2, 3, or 5 bleeding) or ischemic events (cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, or clinically-indicated repeat revascularization) for at least 1 year from index procedure.
You may not qualify if:

- Patients with angiographic findings of A. Left main coronary artery disease B. In-stent restenosis is the cause of target lesion C. Target lesion in bypass graft D. True bifurcation lesion that requires upfront 2-stenting E. Patients with residual stenosis on non-target vessels after PCI (\>70% diameter stenosis or FFR≤0.80)
- Patients who have non-cardiac co-morbid conditions with life expectancy \<1 year
- Patients who may result in protocol non-compliance (site investigator's medical judgment)
- Patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest
- Patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction \<30%)
- Patients with severe valvular heart disease requiring open heart surgery
