All patients will receive standard 180 mg loading dose of ticagrelor, followed by a standard maintenance dose of 90 mg bid for 30 days, after which de-escalation to 60 mg bid will take place and this dosing will be maintained for 15 days. At day 45 all patients will be loaded with standard 60 mg dose of prasugrel followed by reduced maintenance dose of 5 mg qd for 15 days. At day 60 all patients will be switched back to guideline recommended antiplatelet therapy.
All patients will receive standard 60 mg loading dose of prasugrel, followed by a standard maintenance dose 10 mg qd for 30 days, after which de-escalation to 5 mg qd will take place and this dosing will be maintained for 15 days.
