Abstract
This prospective nonrandomized study was performed comparing aspirin a lone (n = 46) versus aspirin and ticlopidine (n = 338) following nativ e coronary artery stenting. There were significantly more stent thromb osis events in the aspirin-only group than in the aspirin and ticlopid ine group (6.5% vs 0.9%, p = 0.02) and significantly more Q-wave myoca rdial infarctions and cardiac-related deaths in the aspirin-only group than in the aspirin and ticlopidine group (6.5% vs 0% p = 0.002 and 4 .4% vs 0.3%, p = 0.02, respectively).
