Heart patients may get safer blood thinner options after stents

NCT ID NCT05681702

First seen Nov 06, 2025

Summary

This study tests two ways to lower bleeding risk in people who have had a heart stent and take blood thinners. One plan switches to a milder drug while keeping aspirin; the other stops aspirin and keeps the stronger drug. Researchers will measure how well each plan prevents blood clots in 90 participants. The goal is to find which approach is safer without raising heart attack risk.
