  • Title: Platelet-inhibitor therapy in cardiovascular disease. Effective defense against thromboembolism.
    Author: Chesebro JH, Steele PM, Fuster V.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1985 Jul; 78(1):48-50, 57-71. PubMed ID: 3160013.
    Abstract:
    Platelet deposition can occur in areas of vascular damage and on prosthetic materials such as heart valves or grafts; mural thrombus formation, with eventual organization, progression to fatal occlusion, thrombolysis, or arterial embolization can follow. Use of antiplatelet drugs in patients undergoing certain cardiovascular surgical procedures or having rapid progression of atherosclerosis may reduce the thromboembolic risk.
