- Abstract
The article focuses on a prospective observational, single-center cohort study which evaluated the capability of multiple platelet function tests to predict clinical outcome in patients undergoing coronary stent implantation. The study used patients taking clopidogrel and undergoing elective coronary stent implantation between December 2005 and December 2009. At 1-year follow-up, occurrence of the primary end point is more frequent in patients with high on-treatment platelet reactivity when assessed by light transmittance aggregometry.
