Key result
Platelet transfusions were ineffectual at reversing platelet dysfunction associated with ticagrelor use.
Why the study?
Does platelet transfusion reverse platelet dysfunction in a patient on ticagrelor?
Does platelet transfusion reverse platelet dysfunction in a patient on ticagrelor?
Platelet transfusion was ineffective in reversing ticagrelor-induced platelet dysfunction in this case.
Platelet transfusion may not reverse ticagrelor-induced dysfunction; leaves open need for effective reversal strategies.
The way to reverse platelet dysfunction in the context of the use of antiplatelet medications, such as ticagrelor, remains an open question. In this case, platelet transfusions were ineffectual.
