Impact of antiplatelet therapy on hemostatic plug formation in the setting of thrombocytopenia by Robert H. Lee, Abigail Ballard-Kordeliski, Summer R. Jones, Wolfgang Bergmeier

“…In the carotid artery ferric chloride thrombosis model, clopidogrel was entirely protected against platelet-rich thrombus formation, while aspirin had minimal effect. Conclusion: Our experimental data suggests that for severe thrombocytopenia, single APT provides an appropriate balance of antithrombotic effect and limited bleeding, with clopidogrel demonstrating a greater antithrombotic effect but slightly increased bleeding compared with aspirin.…”
