Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to investigate the association between P2Y
BACKGROUND: The association between platelet reactivity on clopidogrel and the risk for ischemic cerebrovascular events remains unclear.
METHODS: Incidence, predictors, and prognostic impact of IS were evaluated among patients enrolled in the multicenter, prospective ADAPT-DES (Assessment of Dual AntiPlatelet Therapy With Drug Eluting Stents) study. By protocol, patients were maintained on aspirin for 2 years and clopidogrel for at least 1 year. Baseline platelet reactivity on clopidogrel and aspirin were assessed by means of VerifyNow point-of-care assay after successful DES implantation.
RESULTS: Among 8,582 patients enrolled, 68 (0.8%) had an IS during 2-year follow-up. Across the spectrum of PRU, rates of IS were progressively greater as patients transitioned from the lowest quintile of PRU (more P2Y
CONCLUSIONS: Higher PRU was associated with increased risk of IS after coronary DES implantation. Ensuring adequate platelet P2Y
