CABG-related bleeding complications in real-life acute coronary syndrome patients treated with clopidogrel or ticagrelor
This prospective observational study compares patients with coronary artery bypass grafting on aspirin and ticagrelor (n = 173) or on aspirin and clopidogrel (n = 232). Major bleeding complications occurred in 14.5% with ticagrelor and 13.8% with clopidogrel (p=0.89).
No significant differences were observed, too, when the drugs were discontinued ≥5 or 2-4 days before surgery. A strong tendency to more bleeding complications in the ticagrelor group was found, however, when the drugs were given until 0–1 day before surgery.
