Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients With Clopidogrel Resistance Following Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Ticagrelor, a direct-acting oral P2Y12-receptor antagonist, provides greater and more consistent platelet inhibition than clopidogrel. This study aimed to compare outcomes of ticagrelor plus aspirin versus clopidogrel plus aspirin 1 year after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) in patients with clopidogrel resistance.

Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
Between November 2014 and November 2020, 1739 patients underwent OPCAB. Aspirin (100mg daily) and clopidogrel (75mg daily) were administered beginning at aday 1 after surgery. On the 7th postoperative day, the clopidogrel resistance was evaluated by point-of-care assay. Among them, the patients had clopidogrel resistance were enrolled in this study. Investigators divide them into two groups [A: ticagrelor, B; clopidogrel]. Primary endpoint was all-cause of mortality 1 year after OPCAB. Secondary endpoint included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or stroke). Multivariate Cox regression was used to evaluate predictors of end points.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Early graft patency [1 year after OPCAB]
graft occlusion rate diagnosed by CT exam, at follow-up angiography, grafts were evaluated by use of the usual definition of patency and were assessed for FitzGibbon patency with the A, B, and O classification system in which FitzGibbon A is an excellent/unimpaired graft, Bis an impaired graft with a stenosis >50% reducing the caliber of the graft to <50% of the target artery diameter, and O is a completely occluded graft.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- degree of resistance [7 day after surgery]
Platelet reactivity was assayed using the VeriofyNowP2Y12 assay (Accumetrics Inc, San Diego, CA) which is a cartridge-based assay that specifically measures the direct effects of clopidogrel on the platelet P2Y12 receptor. The results are expressed as P2Y12 reaction units (PRUs) for clopidogrel. The cut-off PRU value was 188 PRU and the details were described previous study.
- Number of patients with resistance with clopidogrel as assessed by VeriofyNowP2Y12 assay [7 day after surgery]
The cut-off PRU value was 188 PRU
- Mediastinal Bleeding [up to 4 weeks]
total drainage counts (ml) from median tubes
- Total hospital day from admission to discharge [up to 4 weeks]
- rate of postoperative stroke of myocardial infarction [Participants will be followed during 1 years from operation]
- rate of postoperative morbidity/ mortality [Participants will be followed during 5 years from operation]
