Introduction
Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients have a greater risk of periprocedural complications, which could possibly be associated with poor short- and long-term prognoses.
Cangrelor, an intravenous P2Y12 receptor inhibitor with rapid onset and offset of platelet inhibition, reduces the risk of thrombotic complications compared with clopidogrel in patients undergoing elective or emergent PCI. Pharmacodynamic (PD) investigations have been conducted in various clinical settings, with various assays of platelet reactivity assessment and with some contrasting data regarding the degree of platelet inhibition and rates of high residual platelet reactivity (HRPR), particularly in patients with ST-segment elevation ...
