Comparative StudyPeriprocedural Outcomes According to Timing of Clopidogrel Loading Dose in Patients Who Did Not Receive P2Y12 Inhibitor Pretreatment.
In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), who did not receive P2Y12 inhibitor pretreatment, the optimal timing of P2Y12 inhibitor loading dose remains debated. We sought to examine whether the choice of administration of the clopidogrel loading dose before or after the start of PCI had an impact on periprocedural complications, including bleeding. ⋯ URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov .
