Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients With Clopidogrel Resistance Following Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass

Summary

Ticagrelor, a direct-acting oral P2Y12-receptor antagonist, provides greater and more consistent platelet inhibition than clopidogrel. This study aimed to compare outcomes of ticagrelor plus aspirin versus clopidogrel plus aspirin 1 year after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) in patients with clopidogrel resistance.
