Brief Summary

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

Coronary endarterectomy (CE) combined with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can be the final option for achieving complete revascularization in diffuse coronary artery disease patients. Since the exposure of subendothelial tissue to the blood flow after CE, the coagulation cascade can be activated, resulting in the increased risk of graft failure. Therefore, anticoagulation with warfarin in this group of patients might be beneficial. However, evidence is limited. This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes between dual antiplatelet therapy with or without warfarin after CE+CABG.
