Is the effect of antiplatelet drugs clopidogrel and aspirin less immediately after stent implantation?
Inhibition of platelets by clopidogrel and aspirin was less immediately post PCI as compared to one day thereafter. This indicates that the time point of platelet function testing is important for the determination of cut-off points and the definition of nonresponsiveness to antiplatelet drugs.
The overall results of this first trial of a novel CRT approach have produced encouraging results which merit further investigation.
