Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

During a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), Fentanyl is commonly used for sedation. Ticagrelor is also routinely used as anti-platelet agent during PCI. However, a recent study has demonstrated the decrease in effectiveness of Ticagrelor when administered along with Fentanyl. Hence this study was designed to further assess the interaction between crushed vs non crushed Ticagrelor and Fentanyl given during PCI procedures.
