    "textoCompleto" => "<p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Introduction</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Clopidogrel is a potent inhibitor of ADP induced platelet aggregation and is recommended to prevent both acute and late thrombotic complications after percutaneous coronary intervention &#40;PCI&#41;&#46; Patients pretreated with clopidogrel had fewer peri-procedural myocardial infarctions in PCI-CURE&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> However&#44; without a loading dose&#44; achieving optimal inhibition can take several days&#46; A loading dose of 300mg&#44; showed superior clinical outcomes in patients who were pretreated more than 6 hours before PCI and at a higher loading dose of 600mg&#44; clopidogrel can be administered less than 6 hours before PCI&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2-4</span> Based on this general agreement&#44; the recent update of the ACC&#47; AHA PCI guidelines recommends a 600mg loading dose of clopidogrel before or during PCI&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> Nevertheless&#44; despite the positive body of data&#44; the clopidogrel loading dose is controversial&#44; since it may increase coronary artery bypass graft &#40;CABG&#41; surgery related bleedings&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6&#44;7</span> Most of the bleedings occur if the CABG is performed within 3-5 days of clopidogrel loading&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6&#44;7</span> The ACC&#47;AHA guidelines therefore recommend delaying the surgery for 5 or more days after clopidogrel exposure&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span> However&#44; concerns have been raised regarding adherence to these guidelines in practice&#46; For example&#44; a study of 264 hospitals found that almost 90&#37; of patients who were pretreated with clopidogrel had CABG within 5 days of exposure&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span> We sought to investigate the current single center experience regarding CABG surgery in patients pretreated with clopidogrel and its possible association to increased hemorrhagic complications and longer hospital stay&#46; </p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Methods</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Study population and design&#58; </span>After obtaining approval from the Institutional Review Board of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and the VA Research and Development committee&#44; we reviewed charts of patients who underwent diagnostic heart catheterization between March 2007 and August 2007 at the Veterans Affairs &#40;VA&#41; Hospital&#44; Oklahoma City&#44; OK &#40;n &#61; 493&#41;&#44; and identified all the patients who subsequently underwent CABG &#40;n &#61; 56&#41;&#46; To include only patients after the index diagnostic catheterization&#44; we excluded any patient with a prior CABG indication&#59; therefore&#44; one patient was excluded because he had concomitant aortic stenosis&#46; Additionally&#44; one patient was lost to follow up&#46; The remaining &#40;n &#61; 54&#41; patients were classified into two groups based on whether they received a clopidogrel pretreatment &#40;clopidogrel group&#44; n &#61; 20&#41; or not &#40;no-clopidogrel group&#44; n &#61; 34&#41;&#46; Clopidogrel pretreatment most commonly consisted of a 300 mg loading dose approximately 12-24 hrs prior to catheterization&#44; or in some cases the patient already had been on a 75 mg daily dose&#46; </p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Definitions and endpoints&#58; </span>The primary endpoints were incidence of major hemorrhagic complications and the median post-surgical hospital stay&#46; Hemorrhagic events were measured using the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction &#40;TIMI&#41; Bleeding Index &#91;hemoglobin &#40;Hgb&#41; loss adjusted for any blood transfusion &#40;preoperative Hgb - minimum post-transfusion Hgb &#43; units of blood transfused&#41;&#93;&#46; According to the TIMI bleeding definitions&#44; major bleeding was defined as TIMI Bleeding Index greater than 5&#46; We also used two alternative definitions - major hemoglobin loss&#44; and major blood transfusion&#46; Major hemoglobin loss was defined as peak hemoglobin loss greater than 5 g&#47;dL &#40;peak Hgb loss &#61; preoperative Hgb - minimum postoperative Hgb&#41;&#44; and major blood transfusion as more than 4 units transfused&#46;

Length of hospital stay was transformed using the natural log to better satisfy linear model assumptions&#46; Given the limited complication rates&#44; clopidogrel was fit as an independent term with adjustment for each individual baseline characteristic that was significantly associated with the log odds of each categorical response at the 0&#46;1 alpha level to identify confounding factors for the logistic models&#46; Linear regression models included clopidogrel treatment as an independent factor along with all baseline characteristics that were significantly associated with the mean continuous response at the 0&#46;1 alpha level and the model was reduced by dropping non-significant baseline confounding factors relative to an alpha level of 0&#46;05&#46;

reporting that almost 90&#37; of surgeries were conducted within 5 days&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span> our data suggests that the practice at VA is in accordance with the guidelines&#46; The similar rates of bleeding between clopidogrel and no-clopidogrel treatment groups supports the current guidelines of delaying surgery for at least 5 days&#46; The importance of following the guidelines is further emphasized with the observance of a trend of increased bleeding in the early CABG subgroup with clopidogrel pre-treatment&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We also observed that the patients in no-clopidogrel group were staying longer in the hospital postoperatively&#46; Additionally&#44; these patients also needed slightly more blood transfusion compared to those who were pre-treated with clopidogrel&#46; While the precise reasons for this observation are not clear&#44; we suspect&#44; given subtle differences in the baseline characteristics&#44; there might have been an overall sicker population in the no-clopidogrel group&#46; One significant difference in the baseline characteristics was that the no-clopidogrel group had lower preoperative hemoglobin &#40;<span class="elsevierStyleBold">Table 1</span>&#41;&#46; Several studies have identified low preoperative hemoglobin as a significant predictor of need for blood transfusion during both cardiac<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10-12</span> and non-cardiac13-15 surgeries&#44; and could possibly explain our observation&#46; Nonetheless&#44; our study does show that delaying CABG for 7 or more days after clopidogrel loading downgrades clopidogrel exposure to a much lower level in the list of surgical risk items&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The retrospective observational nature of our study is one of the main limiting factors&#46; We are unable to rule out all potential confounding factors that may have been related to clopidogrel pretreatment&#46; Additionally&#44; this study is limited by the small number of observations &#40;n &#61;
