Is clopidogrel better than aspirin following breakthrough strokes while on aspirin? A retrospective cohort study. [PDF]
ObjectiveThere is insufficient evidence on which to base a recommendation for optimal antiplatelet therapy following a stroke while on aspirin. The objective was to compare clopidogrel initiation vs aspirin reinitiation for vascular risk reduction among ...

Clopidogrel-induced pneumonia [PDF]
A 75-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with progressive dyspnoea on effort and cough. Three months before presentation, he had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention for unstable angina. At that time, he began taking aspirin (100 mg daily) and clopidogrel (75 mg daily).

Aspirin with or without Clopidogrel after Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Implantation.
BACKGROUND The effect of single as compared with dual antiplatelet treatment on bleeding and thromboembolic events after transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI) in patients who do not have an indication for long-term anticoagulation has not been ...

Validation of a method for quantitation of the clopidogrel active metabolite, clopidogrel, clopidogrel carboxylic acid, and 2-oxo-clopidogrel in feline plasma [PDF]
The clopidogrel active metabolite (CAM) is unstable and challenging to quantitate. The objective was to validate a new method for stabilization and quantitation of CAM, clopidogrel, and the inactive metabolites clopidogrel carboxylic acid and 2-oxo-clopiodgrel in feline plasma.Two healthy cats administered clopidogrel to demonstrate assay in vivo ...
