The large proportion of studies investigating clopidogrel and aspirin antiplatelet therapy presents a challenge in comparing antiplatelet regimens. Although prasugrel and ticagrelor have been identified as suitable alternatives to clopidogrel, these were based on studies with small cohort sizes. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors may be efficacious as rescue therapy for intra-procedural thrombosis. Further research is required to determine which antiplatelet is most suitable.
