There appears to be little benefit to adding aspirin to ticagrelor in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with a similar rate of all-cause mortality and new Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI) at 1 year between those who received ticagrelor monotherapy and a ticagrelor-aspirin combo, according to a non-prespecified, post hoc exploratory analysis of the GLOBAL LEADERS* trial.
