The past 10 years have witnessed major changes in our understandingof the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying vascular occlusion¹^,²and considerable progress in the clinical assessment of aspirinand other antiplatelet agents³^,⁴^,⁵. The purpose of this reviewis to describe a rational basis for antithrombotic prophylaxisand treatment with aspirin. Basic information on the molecularmechanism of action of aspirin in inhibiting platelet functionwill be integrated with the appropriate clinical pharmacologicdata and the results of randomized clinical trials.

Mechanism of Action

Aspirin induces a long-lasting functional defect in platelets,clinically detectable as a prolongation of the bleeding time.This appears to . . . [Full Text of this Article]
