Optimum Platelet Inhibition After Coronary Bypass Surgery

January 21, 2016 updated by: Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Optimum Platelet Inhibition After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Randomised Trial Comparing Platelet Aggregation Using Low, Medium Dose Aspirin and Clopidogrel

To investigate the effect of different dosages of aspirin on platelet aggregation and to determine the possible mechanisms of aspirin resistance, we intend to compare the effects of low, medium dose aspirin with clopidogrel (an alternative antiplatelet agent) in patients after coronary artery bypass surgery.
