After emergency heart bypass surgery for a heart attack, doctors need to prevent blood clots in the new grafts using blood-thinning medications. This trial compares two approaches: taking a single blood-thinner (aspirin) versus taking two blood-thinners together (including ticagrelor). Researchers will use CT imaging scans over 1 to 3 years after surgery to see which approach keeps the grafts open and working better.
After bypass surgery, doctors aren't sure whether one blood-thinner or two blood-thinners work better to keep the surgical grafts open. This study aims to find the safest and most effective approach for heart attack patients recovering from this surgery.

You will return for imaging appointments over the next 1 to 3 years after your bypass surgery. During these visits, you'll receive a CT scan (a special imaging test) to check whether your surgical grafts are open and functioning properly. Your doctors will also monitor which blood-thinning medication you're taking and track how well it's working.
