Effect of Ticagrelor Compared to Clopidogrel on Short-term Outcomes of COVID-19 Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention; a Randomized Clinical Trial.

Among COVID-19 patients with concomitant ACS, who were treated with urgent PCI, the composite outcome of death, myocardial infarction, and early stent thrombosis was not different between Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel groups. However, administration of Ticagrelor was associated with a slight but statistically significant increase in oxygen saturation compared to Clopidogrel, but this difference wasn't clinically important.
