Clot Formation:Clot Formation:
Patients loaded with antiplatelet agents the first day after surgery:Clopidogrel 300mg and ASA 325mg and tested for platelet inhibition.Clopidogrel 300mg and ASA 325mg and tested for platelet inhibition.Non responsive patients receive 60mg prasugrel.
Tested by Accumetrics® Assay or Thromboelastography(TEG) to insurepatients respond to treatment (>50% platelet inhibition) which ismandatory.
Patients retested at 1 month and every 6 months.
Patients and/or physicians requesting tissue valves for their patients orpatients who refuse to enter study are excluded. Also excludedpatients who require a mitral prosthesis, have a history ofpatients who require a mitral prosthesis, have a history ofhypercoagulability or a previous CVA.
