A randomised trial on platelet function-guided de-escalation of antiplatelet treatment in ACS patients undergoing PCI. Rationale and design of the Testing Responsiveness to Platelet Inhibition on chronic Antiplatelet Treatment for Acute Coronary Syndromes (TROPICAL-ACS) Trial.
ieber J, Mudra H, Hausleiter J, Huber K, Neumann FJ, Koltowski L, Huczek Z, Mehilli J, Massberg S, TROPICAL-ACS Investigators Abstract Outcomes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have been significantly improved with the use of potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitors like prasugrel. While most of the ischaemic risk reduction for prasugrel versus clopidogrel was demonstrated in the early treatment period, the risk of bleeding became particularly prominent during the chronic course of therapy. It may therefore be a valid approach to substitute prasugrel for clopido...
