Educational information

Prof. Verheugt summarises the important but neutral findings of the EUCLID trial, in which over 13000 patients with peripheral artery disease were randomised to monotherapy with either clopidogrel or ticagrelor. No difference in effect was seen on the incidence of death, myocardial infarction and stroke. Nor was a difference seen in the incidence of bleedings.
