Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Aspirin plus clopidogrel for optimal platelet inhibition following off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery: results from the CRYSSA (prevention of Coronary arteRY bypaSS occlusion After off-pump procedures) randomised study.
To determine the individual variability in the response to aspirin and/or clopidogrel and its impact on graft patency after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. ⋯ Combined clopidogrel and aspirin overcome single drug resistances, are safe for bleeding and improve venous graft patency.
