Extent of coronary artery disease and clinical outcomes with ticagrelor monotherapy versus aspirin after coronary artery bypass grafting: insights from the TiCAB trial
This analysis did not find a differential benefit of ticagrelor versus aspirin across CAD complexity levels as measured by the SYNTAX score. Further studies are warranted to refine antiplatelet strategies for patients with complex CAD undergoing CABG.
