Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of prasugrel plus low-dose aspirin versus high dose aspirin alone (300mg) and versus low dose aspirin alone (75 mg) in patients with chronic coronary disease undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter, randomized trial evaluating the effect of low-dose aspirin plus prasugrel versus low-dose ASA and versus high-dose ASA for three months, followed by low-dose ASA alone, on graft failure at 12 months in patients with stable coronary artery disease (chronic coronary syndrome) following a coronary artery bypass grafting.

8. Severe liver failure Child-Pugh classification \>4
9. Known, active infections with HIV, HBV, HCV, tuberculosis
10. Active malignant disease or history of malignancy within the past 5 years
11. Indication for DAPT (e.g. recent PCI or ACS or recent stents of peripheral arteries)
12. Indication for oral anticoagulant treatment 13 Indications for the use of methotrexate at a dose of 15 mg/week or more

14\. Any contraindication for prasugrel or ASA 15. Planned additional cardiac or non-cardiac surgery within 12 months 16. Non-cardiac co-morbidity with life expectancy less than 12 months 17.
