Baseline Thrombocytopenia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) in Patients With Baseline Thrombocytopenia
The use of clopidogrel as part of DAPT will be associated with lower bleeding rates compared to ticagrelor in patients with chronic thrombocytopenia requiring Percutaneous intervention (PCI )with Drug Eluting Stent (DES) or Bare Metal Stint(BMS).
Patients with thrombocytopenia are at an increased risk of both bleeding and ischemic events following PCI; however, there is a paucity of data on how to optimally manage these risks. Data indicates that ticagrelor is associated with reduced ischemic outcomes with an accompanying increased risk of bleed in the broader population. This study will assess P2Y12 agent selection in patients with chronic thrombocytopenia to determine if one better balances risks of ischemic and bleeding events following coronary intervention ;
