Abstract
- Thrombosis occurs after aortopulmonary shunting in children despite the use of heparin and oral antiplatelet agents. We describe the use of an intravenous antiplatelet agent for secondary prevention of shunt thrombosis without adverse events. Platelet mapping was used to monitor the effects and demonstrated the rapid onset of platelet inhibition.<br /> (Copyright © 2015 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Published by Elsevier Inc.
