Antiplatelet Therapy After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

To the Editor Dr Zhao and colleagues concluded that among patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with saphenous vein grafting, ticagrelor plus aspirin significantly increased graft patency after 1 year vs aspirin alone. However, based on current best evidence and standards of care, the aspirin dosage (100 mg/d) used in this study for the aspirin-alone group may have been suboptimal.
