Clopidogrel plus aspirin versus aspirin alone for preventing cardiovascular disease | Cochrane
Low-dose aspirin as antiplatelet therapy is still the drug of choice for preventing cardiovascular events, but the protection aspirin gives to people at high risk of cardiovascular events is only relatively modest. This review of 28,165 people in two trials where clopidogrel was given in addition to antiplatelet treatment found that in patients with acute coronary syndromes the benefit - a reduction in cardiovascular events - outweighs the harm of major bleeding. However, clopidogrel plus aspirin has no clear positive risk-benefit profile in people at high risk of cardiovascular events (multiple atherothrombotic risk factors) or in people with established cardiovascular disease (known coronary disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disease or peripheral arterial disease) but not presenting with an acute coronary syndrome, and the combination should not be prescribed routinely to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants for hypertension | Cochrane
Daily aspirin reduces the incidence of heart attacks to a small degree, but increases the incidence of major bleeding events to a similar degree in patients treated for high blood pressure who have not had a prior stroke or heart attack. In patients with high blood pressure who have had a stroke or heart attack, the benefits of daily low-dose aspirin outweigh the harms. There is no evidence of benefit for antithrombotic therapy with warfarin alone or in combination with aspirin in patients with high blood pressure. The benefits and harms of the newer drugs glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor and oral antithrombotic agents such as dabigatran and rivaroxaban for patients with high blood pressure have not been studied in clinical trials.

Pharmacological treatment for Buerger's disease | Cochrane
Buerger's disease is characterized by recurring progressive inflammation and clotting in small and medium arteries and veins of the hands and feet. Its cause is unknown, but it is most common in men with a history of tobacco use. It is responsible for ulcers and extreme pain in the limbs of young smokers. In many cases, mainly in patients with the most severe form, there is no possibility of improving the condition with surgery, and therefore, drugs (pharmacological agents) are used. These can be pharmacological agents, such as cilostazol, clopidogrel, and pentoxifylline, or medicine derivatives of prostacyclin and prostaglandin, which redirect blood flow and improve the circulation in affected areas, and theoretically, help to heal ulcers and relieve rest pain. This review assessed the effectiveness of pharmacological agents in the treatment of patients with Buerger's disease.

Antiplatelet agents for preventing failure of peripheral arterial grafts | Cochrane
Symptomatic peripheral arterial disease in people with atherosclerosis can present as intermittent claudication, disabling pain on walking, or as critical limb ischaemia with pain at rest, ulceration, gangrene and the risk of losing a leg. One treatment option is to implant a graft or makeshift blood vessel to bypass a blockage in the main artery of the thigh. Using a section of the vein from the patient's leg is often better than artificial or prosthetic materials such as Dacron or polytetrafluoroethylene, which take up platelets that could lead to clotting that could block the graft. Other factors affecting the patency of the graft (how long the bypass remains open) include length of the bypass, site where the graft connects to the existing artery and blood flow out of the graft. Stenosis (narrowing) of the graft most frequently occurs at the surgical connections because of hyperplasia, or an increase in the number of smooth muscle cells, into the inner layer of the vessel, often followed by the formation of a thrombosis (clot) at the stenotic site.
