Shorter blood thinner therapy after bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares a shorter versus a longer course of two blood thinners (aspirin and ticagrelor) after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) to see if stopping one of them earlier is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are having your first bypass surgery and will receive at least one vein graft.
- You are not having any other heart surgery at the same time, like valve repair.
- You do not have a condition that requires you to take a different blood thinner or an anticoagulant (such as warfarin) after surgery.
- You have not had a stomach ulcer, bleeding problem, or a stent placed in the last few months to years.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant without using two reliable forms of birth control.

This Phase 3 trial compares two strategies to prevent blood clots after heart bypass surgery: aspirin alone versus aspirin plus ticagrelor. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for people whose bypass does not fully restore blood flow.
This trial tests if people who have been on two blood thinners (aspirin plus prasugrel or ticagrelor) for at least 90 days after getting a heart stent can safely switch to just one of those blood thinners. It aims to see if taking only one pill is as safe and effective as taking two.
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 study tests whether taking a single blood-thinning medication (instead of two) after heart stent placement is safe and effective over the long term. If you've recovered well from a stent procedure, this trial may help determine the safest way to prevent future heart problems.
This study compares taking blood thinners for 1 month versus 6 months after a special balloon procedure to open a small blocked heart vessel. Researchers want to find out which time frame works best and is safest for patients like you.
This trial tests whether taking just one month of two blood thinners after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is safe and as effective as the standard longer course. It focuses on people having their first bypass surgery who receive at least one vein graft from the leg.
