We scrupulously analysed adherence to the current Spanish guidelines published in 2011,Īn absence of cardiac rhythm or presence of chaotic rhythm requiring any component of basic or advanced cardiac life support. Moreover, we registered the resumption of APT after surgery.

Lowering aspirin dose or replacing clopidogrel (when used as monotherapy) with a low dose of aspirin (without any interruption before surgery) was not considered withdrawal, as the antiplatelet effect was preserved. We also registered the replacement of antiplatelet drugs by heparin, tirofiban or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Partial withdrawal of APT was defined as the discontinuation of clopidogrel, but not aspirin, for at least five days before surgery by patients on dual APT. We defined complete withdrawal of APT as the total discontinuation of APT (mono or dual therapy) for at least five days before surgery. The analysis of preoperative APT withdrawal was done by recording the date of the last dose of APT and the date of surgery. The prescribed APT regimen was recorded throughout hospital admission and at 30 and 90 days after surgery.
