Clopidogrel vs aspirin after heart stent treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two blood-thinning medicines—clopidogrel and aspirin—after you have finished a short period of dual therapy following a special type of drug-eluting heart stent. It may help find which medicine works better and is safer for preventing future heart problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of stents that release medicine to help keep arteries open after an acute coronary syndrome event (often called a heart attack or unstable angina). It tests whether the standard short course of two blood-thinning medicines for one month is enough, and which stent strategy works best.
This trial tests whether tailoring anti-platelet (blood clot prevention) treatment can better protect people at higher risk of heart or blood-vessel problems after a drug-eluting stent. It may help prevent future clots and complications, especially in patients with certain high-risk health conditions or complex stent/scar tissue features.
This study compares two ways of choosing blood thinners after a heart stent procedure. It aims to see if using an imaging-guided strategy leads to better outcomes than usual care.
This study compares different combinations of antiplatelet (blood-thinning for the stent) and cholesterol-lowering (statin) medicines after stent placement for a heart attack or unstable angina. The goal is to find the best way to prevent future heart problems and improve outcomes.
This study looks at whether taking a second blood thinner (clopidogrel) plus aspirin for a longer time helps prevent heart problems after a stent opens a fully blocked artery. It compares two durations of treatment to see which is better for patients like you.
This trial tests different blood thinner medicines after a heart stent is placed. It aims to find the best way to prevent blood clots while reducing bleeding risk.
