Summary
Reduced antiplatelet activity (low response (LR)/high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR))
of aspirin (ALR) or clopidogrel (CLR) is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic
events. The prevalence figures for low-responders reported in the literature vary widely and
there have been few investigations in vascular surgery patients to date. The aim of this
prospective monocentric study was to increase the evidence base on vascular surgery patients
and to detect any changes in the response following vascular surgery procedures.
