Suboptimal platelet inhibition by clopidogrel (clopidogrel resistance) may be associated with high rates of stent thrombosis and ischemic events. Our objective was to determine if ticagrelor, a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, can result in platelet inhibition in patients with clopidogrel resistance. ⋯ Oral ticagrelor can augment platelet inhibition in patients who have clopidogrel resistance.
