Combination therapy with aspirin plus ticlopidine has become the reference antithrombotic therapy after coronary stenting. However despite its effectiveness, ticlopidine is associated with a significant incidence of severe side effects. Thus, clopidogrel, a ticlopidine analogue with an excellent safety profile, has been introduced in clinical practice. To date only a few, underpowered studies comparing the clinical efficacy of clopidogrel and aspirin versus standard combination therapy after coronary stenting have been performed and the odds ratios (OR) vary substantially among them. The purpose of the present investigation was to update the data regarding this issue by means of a formal meta-analysis.
