Ticagrelor can be discontinued 2-3 days prior to CABG without increasing Bleeding Risk
According to new randomized data, in patients with ACS, performing CABG within a couple of days after ticagrelor cessation is noninferior to waiting 5 or 6 days in terms of bleeding events. Moreover, patients with delayed CABG had more presurgical ischemic events and longer hospital stays. To prevent bleeding, current US guidelines recommend waiting at least 5 days to perform nonurgent CABG...
