Experimental
Active Comparator
ticagrelor
clopidogrel
In the intervention group, Ticagrelor will be administered orally, according to the following scheme: 180 mg the evening preceding (and at least 6 hours before) rotational atherectomy (Day -1), 90 mg the following morning (D Day before rotational atherectomy and angioplasty), 90 mg the following evening (D Day after rotational atherectomy and angioplasty), 90 mg twice daily the day after the procedure of rotational atherectomy and angioplasty (Day +1).
In the control group, Clopidogrel will be administered orally, according to the following scheme: 300 mg the evening preceding (and at least 6 hours before) rotational atherectomy (Day -1), 75 mg the following morning (D Day before rotational atherectomy and angioplasty), 0 mg the following evening (D Day after rotational atherectomy and angioplasty), 75 mg once daily the day after the procedure of rotational atherectomy and angioplasty (Day +1).
