Aspirin dose comparison after bypass surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a lower dose of aspirin combined with another blood thinner (prasugrel) after bypass surgery is as safe and effective as a higher dose. It is for people with stable heart disease who are scheduled for bypass surgery and have not had a recent heart attack.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stable coronary artery disease (no heart attack in the last 12 months)
- You are scheduled for bypass surgery with at least two grafts
- You are not on strong blood thinners or anticoagulants right now
- You have no history of serious bleeding (like in the brain or stomach)
- Your kidney function is good (not on dialysis)

This study compares two blood-thinning medications—aspirin and clopidogrel—in people with chronic coronary artery disease (narrowed heart arteries). Researchers want to learn which medication works better at preventing heart problems over 5 years.
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 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.
This trial tests switching from a standard blood thinner (clopidogrel) to a lower dose of a stronger one (prasugrel) in people who have had a stent placed and are at high risk for both bleeding and heart problems. The goal is to see if the switch better prevents clots while keeping bleeding risks low.
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.
This trial tests if a lower dose of prasugrel, taken alone (without aspirin), is safe and works well for people who have had a stent placed for chest pain or a heart attack. It might be an option for those who need to simplify their medication routine.
