Summary
Subjects with acute coronary syndromes scheduled for cardiac catheterization will be enrolled
in this study. Subjects that are to be treated clinically with coronary artery stenting will
be randomized to receive a loading dose of clopidogrel versus ticagrelor after diagnostic
angiography but prior to stenting. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) will be performed after
stenting and the presence of blood clots inside the new stent will be measured and compared
between the groups.
