The primary objective of this prospective clinical registry is to determine the prevalence and level of thienopyridine resistance seen in a population undergoing contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).
This is a prospective cohort study of 1000 patients presenting to the Washington Hospital Center for percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass surgery. The aim of this prospective clinical registry is to determine the prevalence and level of thienopyridine resistance seen in a population presenting for cardiac catheterization and undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Thienopyridine resistance will be measured by flow cytometry of the vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation, and/or the VerifyNow P2Y12 assay, and/or the Chrono-Log Lumi-Aggregometer, and/or the PlaCor PRT 7000 platelet reactivity assay. A secondary objective of this study is to correlate a variety of genetic polymorphisms with levels of platelet reactivity.

Washington Hospital Center
Washington D.C., District of Columbia, United States
RECRUITINGThe prevalence and degree of thienopyridine resistance
Thienopyridine resistance will be assessed by: oThe VASP assay, which measures the platelet reactivity index; and/or oThe VerifyNow P2Y12 receptor inhibition assay, which measures P2Y12 reaction units (PRU); and/or oThe Chrono-Log Lumi-Aggregometer, which measures platelet aggregation (via optical density or electrical impedance) in response to ADP stimulation; and/or oThe PlaCor PRT 7000 platelet reactivity assay
Time frame: Duration of hospital stay; average hospital stay of less than 48 hours
The prevalence of aspirin resistance
The prevalence and degree of aspirin resistance will be measured by the VerifyNow aspirin resistance assay.
