Filter by:Spontaneous prospective observational multicentre pharmacological study that aims to evaluate whether, from a statistical point of view, there is a significant difference between the use of Ticagrelor in "non-responders" patients to Clopidogrel undergoing carotid stenting and Clopidogrel in "responders" undergoing carotid stenting, in the onset of death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and bleeding events, 1 and 3 months after the procedure. Furthermore, the study aims to evaluate the possible preoperative clinical and pharmacological factors most associated with the phenomenon of resistance to Clopidogrel. Inclusion criteria: The data will be collected on adult patients (age> 18 years) who have given their consent to participate in the study, belonging to the U.O. of Vascular Surgery of the IRCCS Policlinico San Donato and the U.O. of Vascular Surgery of the participating centers and there subjected to the treatment of carotid stenosis by stenting technique. Exclusion criteria: Those patients who are minors, who have not given their consent to participate in the study, or who have carotid stenosis not susceptible to intervention by stenting will be excluded from the study. Pregnant or lactating women will also be excluded from the study (such as situations in which carotid stenting is contraindicated regardless of the execution of the study).
This is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the role of screening for and intervening on patients with high on treatment platelet reactivity undergoing lower extremity arterial endovascular interventions.
With the widespread use of clopidogrel, resistance to clopidogrel has been attracting increasing attention, and emerged as a new challenge adversely affecting patients clinical risk and outcome. Clopidogrel resistance means that blood platelets show little or no response to clopidogrel. It is closely associated with increased risk of serious cardiovascular events, seriously affects the prognosis of patients, and brings difficulties to clinical treatment. Guideline recommendations on the use of dual antiplatelet therapy have been formulated that ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily plus aspirin in preference to clopidogrel 75mg daily plus aspirin for ACS patients. Recent study found that ticagrelor 90mg twice a day orally could significantly reduce the occurrence of clopidogrel resistance and adverse cardiovascular events. The previous studies have reported that half-dose ticagrelor had the similar inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation as the standard-dose ticagrelor, which was significantly stronger than that in the clopidogrel group. But it is still not very clear that the effect of low-dose ticagrelor on platelet function in patients with clopidogrel resistance and coronary heart disease. Therefore, we performed this randomized, single-blind clinical trial to observe the effects of low-dose ticagrelor and double standard-dose clopidogrel on platelet aggregation and prognosis in clopidogrel resistance's patients with coronary heart disease.
