OBJECTIVE:To explore the incidence and possible risk factors of clopidogrel resistance in patients of dual antiplatelet treatment with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: A total of 93 ACS inpatients with dual antiplatelet drugs who underwent PCI (100 mg/d aspirin and 75 mg/d clopidogrel were given for more than 5 d before surgery, or loading dose of 300 mg aspirin and 300 mg clopidogrel 6 h before surgery, and loading dose of 100 mg/d aspirin and 75 mg/d clopidogrel were given after surgery) were enrolled, thromboelastography(TEG) was used to determine the platelet inhibition rate after giving clopidogrel,patients were divided into resistance group and non-resistance group based on the inhibition rate, and a related risk factors analysis was conducted for clopidogrel resistance. RESULTS:The incidence of clopidogrel resistance was 33.3% (31 cases). The total stent lengths and MAADP of clopidogrel resistance group were higher than non-clopidogrel resistance group,the difference was statistically significant(P≤0.01). CONCLUSIONS: In the ACS patients with dual antiplatelet drugs who underwent PCI, 33.3% show clopidogrel resistance. Total stent lengths and MAADP are the risk factors of clopidogrel resistance in ACS patients after PCI.
