Expect More Bleeding When Cangrelor Is Used

You'll hear more about the new IV antiplatelet med, cangrelor (Kengreal, KEN-gree-el).

Think of it as similar to clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or prasugrel during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)...but in an IV form.

You'll hear about its immediate onset and rapid offset...but be aware of limitations.
