Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the presence of graft patency in single aspirin vs dual anti platelet therapy (DAPT) treatment including ticagrelor in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Follow up time is 12-36 months postoperatively and the patency will be evaluated with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Graft patency after CABG | 12-36 months | Defined as patency on CCTA (FitzGibbon A) without previous graft failure identified on CCTA and/or invasive coronary angio (ICA) since CABG, intention to treat (ITT) analysis. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Graft patency after CABG - PP analysis | 12-36 months | Defined as patency on CCTA (FitzGibbon A) without previous graft failure identified on CCTA and/or ICA since CABG, per protocol (PP) analysis. |
| Graft patency after CABG | 12-36 months | Defined as non-occlusion on CCTA (FitzGibbon A+B) without previous graft occlusion identified on CCTA and/or ICA since CABG, ITT analysis. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Subgroup analyses | 12-36 months | Possible interactions in response to study treatment, with special focus on the following factors; age, gender, renal function, diabetes, oral anticoagulant therapy, adherence to study treatment and time from end of study medication. |
| Explorative analyses | 12-36 months | Performed on the graft patency of internal mammary artery (IMA) in the two treatment groups, as well as if there are any differences in graft patency between different anastomoses and grafting techniques. Possible predictors of graft failure in general, with age, gender, diabetes, obesity, renal failure, urgency level and length of surgery, per-operative complications, number and type of graft as well as pre-operative fractional flow reserve as variables to explore. Gender analysis will be performed, analyzing if female gender is associated with worse prognosis post CABG, adjusting for their higher age and burden of co-morbidities. |
