Novel Antiplatelet Perioperative Bridging Protocol for Lung Lobectomy: A Case Report.

We describe the novel addition of ticagrelor (a short-acting oral antiplatelet agent) to eptifibatide (a short-acting intravenous antiplatelet agent) to bridge DAPT for surgery. DISCUSSION: This ticagrelor-eptifibatide perioperative bridge resulted in decreased preoperative hospitalization compared with eptifibatide alone. There were no associated perioperative cardiac or bleeding complications. PMID: 31926566 [PubMed - in process]
