- DAPT-SHOCK-AMI: IV Cangrelor vs. Crushed Ticagrelor in Patients With Acute MI and Cardiogenic ShockCompared with crushed ticagrelor, intravenous (IV) cangrelor provided immediate and effective platelet inhibition with no increase in major bleeding and lower mortality rates in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and cardiogenic shock.
- New Studies Explore Early Aspirin Withdrawal and Tailored Antiplatelet Strategies Following PCIEarly withdrawal of aspirin following successful PCI for acute coronary syndrome and in low-risk patients following an acute myocardial infarction (MI) was the focus of two separate hot line trials presented at ESC Congress 2025.
