Testing Platelet Reactivity In Patients Undergoing Elective Stent Placement on Clopidogrel to Guide Alternative Therapy With Prasugrel (TRIGGER-PCI)

Summary

To determine the efficacy of prasugrel versus clopidogrel for the reduction of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with high platelet reactivity on clopidogrel after successful implantation of coronary drug-eluting stents. To determine the adverse event profile of prasugrel in patients with high platelet reactivity on clopidogrel after implantation of coronary drug-eluting stents. To determine the effect of prasugrel on inhibition of platelet activation in patients with high platelet reactivity on clopidogrel.
