TLDR
VLTPR (PRI VASP ≤10%) was identified as the strongest predictor of bleeding complications in patients treated with thienopyridines, and could be useful for tailored therapy and bleeding prevention.
Abstract
Objectives: This study was designed to define the hyperresponse to thienopyridine (very low on-treatment platelet reactivity [VLTPR]) as the most predictive threshold value of platelet reactivity i...

General Cardiology AbstractsPredictors of major bleeding in acute coronary syndromes: the global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE)

TL;DR: In routine clinical practice, major bleeding is a relatively frequent non-cardiac complication of contemporary therapy for ACS and it is associated with a poor hospital prognosis and it was significantly associated with an increased risk of hospital death.

Interventional Cardiology AbstractsDouble-blind study of the safety of clopidogrel with and without a loading dose in combination with aspirin compared with ticlopidine in combination with aspirin after coronary stenting: the Clopidogrel Aspirin Stent International Cooperative Study (CLASSICS)

TL;DR: Primary end point data are consistent with the hypothesis that clopidogrel and ticlopidine have comparable efficacy with regard to cardiac events after successful stenting, and the 300-mg loading dose was well tolerated, notably with no increased risk of bleeding.

Prasugrel versus Clopidogrel in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes

TL;DR: In patients with acute coronary syndromes with scheduled percutaneous coronary intervention, prasugrel therapy was associated with significantly reduced rates of ischemic events, including stent thrombosis, but with an increased risk of major bleeding, including fatal bleeding.

Effects of clopidogrel in addition to aspirin in patients with acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation.

TL;DR: The antiplatelet agent clopidogrel has beneficial effects in patients with acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation, however, the risk of major bleeding is increased among patients treated with clopIDogrel.

Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes

TL;DR: In patients who have an acute coronary syndrome with or without ST-segment elevation, treatment with ticagrelor as compared with clopidogrel significantly reduced the rate of death from vascular causes, myocardial infarction, or stroke without an increase in the rates of overall major bleeding but with an increase of non-procedure-related bleeding.

Standardized Bleeding Definitions for Cardiovascular Clinical Trials A Consensus Report From the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium

TL;DR: Bleeding complications have been associated with an increased risk of subsequent adverse outcomes, including MI, stroke, stent thrombosis, and death, in patients with ACS and in those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as well as in the long-term antithrombotic setting.
