Brief summary
It is the aim of the present study to assess the prevalence of ASS-Nonresponse following cardiac surgery using the Multiple Electrode Aggregometry (MEA).
Detailed description
Up to now there are no data concerning the prevalence of ASS-Nonresponse following surgical coronary revascularization procedures as assessed with the Multiple Electrode Aggregometry. Results of the present observational study are needed to assess the prevalence of ASS-Nonresponse in order to perform a sample size analysis for a prospective interventional study in a second step.
