The interaction between preoperative platelet count and function and its relationship with postoperative bleeding in cardiac surgery

Platelets, 2017
Platelet function tests (PFTs) before cardiac surgery are predictive of postoperative bleeding and can guide a correct timing of surgery in patients under P2Y12 inhibitors. Thrombocytopenia affects PFT and may determine postoperative bleeding.
