Major Bleeding Outcomes, Platlet Aggregation
Conditions
Brief summary
Since the absorption of clopidogrel through the gastrointestinal tract is limited, we want to examine whether adding clopidogrel by chewing will overcome the limited gastrointestinal absorption, and hence will improve the prevention of platelet aggregation.
Interventions
