About the procedure

Antiplatelet therapy uses medications to prevent blood platelets from clumping, reducing the risk of blood clots. It is commonly prescribed for patients with coronary artery disease, after stent placement, heart attack, stroke, or peripheral artery disease. Common drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel, and newer agents. While effective at preventing clots, antiplatelet therapy carries a bleeding risk, requiring careful adherence, monitoring, and coordination with other medications or procedures.
