Findings from a retrospective analysis of the nonrandomized subgroup of patients who required CABG (n=1261) within 7 days of last intake of study drug from the Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes [PLATO; NCT00391872] study, comparing ticagrelor and clopidogrel.</style></abstract><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume></record></records></xml>
