Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of Ticagrelor on patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Ninety cases of ACS receiving PCI in our hospital between May 2014 and May 2016 were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into control group and observation group by random digital table, with 45 cases in each group. The observation group was given Ticagrelor and the control group received Clopidogrel. Maximum platelet aggregation rate (MPAR) and the level of plasma soluble leukocyte differentiation antigen 40 ligand (sCD40L), P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were compared between the two groups. Results After antiplatelet therapy, the levels of MPAR, sCD40L, PRU, hs-CRP, MMP-9 and ET-1 in the observation group were statistically lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05); the level of NO in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After half a year of follow-up, there was no stent thrombosis, cardiac death or severe organ bleeding in the two groups; the incidence of adverse events in the control group was 11.11% (5/45), while that in the observation group was 6.67% (3/45), there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions For patients with ACS, antiplatelet therapy using Ticagrelor after PCI can better alleviate platelet aggregation, relieve intravascular inflammatory response and reduce postoperative cardiac adverse events. It is worthy of clinical application.
