Does delaying CABG at least 5 days after clopidogrel treatment reduce blood product transfusions in patients scheduled for primary CABG?
Does delaying CABG at least 5 days after clopidogrel treatment reduce blood product transfusions in patients scheduled for primary CABG?
Delaying CABG for at least 5 days after clopidogrel treatment significantly reduces the need for red blood cell and platelet transfusions.
Delaying CABG after clopidogrel was associated with fewer transfusions; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
