Coronary artery bypass grafting-related bleeding complications in patients treated with dual antiplatelet treatment [ADULT CARDIAC]

CONCLUSIONS Ticagrelor discontinuation >72 h and clopidogrel discontinuation >120 h prior to surgery were not associated with an increased risk of bleeding-related complications. Based on these findings, a period of ticagrelor discontinuation shorter than advised by current international guidelines might be justifiable.
