Pulmonary Alveolar Hemorrhage While on Dual Antiplatelet Therapy
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Prasugrel is an anti-platelet agent in the thienopyridine class of adenosine diphosphate receptor inhibitors. It is commonly used in combination with low-dose aspirin as dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention with stent placement. Prasugrel's use is associated with an overall low risk of bleeding (2.4% risk of major hemorrhage), but is avoided in the elderly and those with a low body mass index.
