Antiplatelet medications and their indications in preventing and treating coronary thrombosis

Abstract: Platelets play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, and complications following percutaneous coronary intervention. Three classes of platelet-inhibiting drugs, aspirin, thienopyridines and platelet glycoprotein IIb/ IIIa inhibitors, are now commonly used for the prevention and treatment of disorders of coronary artery thrombosis. For the last several decades aspirin has been the sole option for antiplatelet therapy in the treatment and prevention of the manifes… Show more

“…Aspirin reduces the risk of myocardial infarction 1,2 and has been shown to improve graft patency rates after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). 3,4 Paradoxically, the very mechanisms that confer protection against myocardial infarction and graft closure may also contribute to increased bleeding complications after cardiac surgery.…”

“…1) Anti-thrombotic therapy agents, mainly aiming at treating thrombin platelet and thrombosis, are divided into 1) anti-platelet drugs, to prevent the coronary and cerebrovascular thrombosis from forming, such as aspirin and ticlopidine 2) ; 2) drugs against thrombin, 3,4) known as anticoagulants, including heparin and warfarin; 3) thrombolytic drugs such as fibrinolytic drugs. 5) Currently the most widely clinically applicable anti-platelet drugs are cyclooxygenase inhibitor, ADP receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase inhibitor and GPIIb/IIIa receptor antagonist.…”

“…Among these agonists, AA is one of the most powerful agonists for platelet activation 6,7 . Currently, essential antiplatelet drugs used for the prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic diseases are aspirin, ridogrel, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, dipyridamole, cilostazol, tirofiban and sibrafiban [8][9][10][11][12] . Nevertheless, these orally administered antiplatelet drugs have certain disadvantages, such as gastric erosion, agranulocytosis, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura along with inefficient therapy [13][14][15][16] .…”
