Low-dose aspirin after a heart attack with stents

This study compares ticagrelor taken at a lower dose versus regular aspirin to help prevent future heart attacks in people who recently had a stent placed after acute coronary syndrome. You may qualify if you’re considered “high risk” for new blockages or clots and can take dual anti-platelet therapy for 12 months.

This trial tests whether a lower dose of the blood thinner ticagrelor works better than clopidogrel in people with stable coronary artery disease who are getting a planned stent. It aims to find which drug is safer and more effective for preventing future heart problems.

This study tests if a single blood thinner (ticagrelor) works well enough after getting a heart stent, instead of the usual two blood thinners. It may simplify your daily medication routine.

This trial tests whether taking ticagrelor (a blood thinner) alone, without aspirin, is safe and effective for people who have had a heart attack and are being treated with medication only (no stents or bypass surgery). It could mean fewer pills and possibly reduce bleeding risks.

This trial is testing whether lowering the dose of your current blood thinner or switching to a different one (clopidogrel) is safer and works just as well after you've had a stent placed. It's designed for people who are already on two blood thinners and are doing well.

This trial studies whether a specific stent (with no polymer coating) plus a single blood thinner plan with aspirin and another P2Y12 medicine is as safe and effective as the standard two-medicine plan after a STEMI heart attack. It may help people avoid longer exposure to stronger blood-thinning if the new approach works as well.
