Abstract

Dual antiplatelet theraphy with an aspirin and a thienopyridine is a cornerstone of tratment to prevent thrombosis complications of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Clopidogrel is accepted as a keycomponent of antiplatelet theraphy in patient with ACS. Prasugrel is a novel thienopyridine that reduces new or recurent myocardial infarctions compared with clopidogrel in patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous intervention. The efficacy of prasugrel was established through the TRITON TIMI 38 trial which was published in 2007. Till now, several subanalysis of TRITON were published. In article new data for prasugrel are presented.
