That is what we used to follow before, now the new ACC statement tells to used clopidogrel instead of Aspirin, prasugrel or ticlagrelor, after 1 month of DAPT.
Thats becoz in acute situations crushed or chewed form is more rapidly absorbed...it actually starts from mouth itself... action onset is from 5 mint of intake compared to ½ an hour by swallowed aspirin

My doubt is wether to give SAPT of ASPIRIN instead of P2Y12i while transitioning for elderly pts after 1year of PCI OR CABG
Risk of bleeding is higher for P2Y12i right?
Then y shud we give that instead of ASPIRIN.
Also ASPIRIN has gastro resistant forms... so its comparably gut friendly right?
Iam having a doubt
Why is chewing of aspirin is preferred over swallowing?
We use non-enteric coated, chewable to promote early absorption.
