The primary objective of this study is to establish a cut off level of platelet inhibition that separates patients with or without previous stent occlusion with acute clinical onset while on aspirin and clopidogrel treatment within 6 months after coronary stenting for coronary artery disease.
To establish cut off levels of platelet inhibition using ADP-induced P2Y12-receptor mediated platelet aggregation using Accumetrics VerifyNow P2Y12 assay (PRU) and Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP, PRI %)for patients with experienced stent occlusion with acute clinical onset and/or myocardial infarction within 6 months after coronary stenting for coronary artery disease.
