Randomized Controlled TrialClopidogrel provides significantly greater inhibition of platelet activity than aspirin when combined with atorvastatin after coronary artery bypass grafting: a prospective randomized study.
We aimed to compare the effects of 2 different antiplatelet agents on platelet activity in patients receiv- ing atorvastatin after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). ⋯ Our results demonstrate that the combination of C + A is more effective than that of ASA + A in inhibiting ADP-mediated platelet aggregation and expression of major platelet receptors after CABG.
