3. Clopidogrel
Clopidogrel combined with aspirin has been shown to provide short- and long-term benefits in patients under¬going PCI, in particular when intracoronary stents are used. A loading dose of clopidogrel 6–24 h prior to PCI is advisable (see the chapter Antiplatelet Agents). Clopidogrel is withheld in patients in whom bypass surgery is planned to prevent excessive hemorrhage.
