Objectives This study was designed to investigate whether poor responders to thienopyridines after clopidogrel remain so even after ticlopidine administration (class effect) or whether a drug-specific effect exists between currently available thienopyridines.Background Whether clopidogrel poor responders also display inadequate platelet inhibition after ticlopidine administration remains undefined.Methods Platelet aggregation (PA) was measured in 143 patients, while they were taking aspirin, with light transmission aggregometry using adenosine diphosphate as an agonist at baseline (T-O) and at clopidogrel steady state (T-1). After T-1 clopidogrel was stopped and substituted with ticlopidine. Then PA was assessed at ticlopidine steady state (T-2). Resistance was defined as an absolute difference between T-O and after-treatment (T-1 or T-2) PA
