Reveal Transition - A Mechanistic Study in Transition / Stabilized Phase of CAD

In stable CAD/PAD patients with previous PCI and DES-implantation treated with DAPT (ASA+clopidogrel) platelet rich plasma (PRP) and washed platelets as well as serum/plasma/urinary samples will be collected between 2 and 4 weeks before switching from DAPT to ASA + rivaroxaban (2,5 mg b.i.d.), between 2 and 4 weeks under monotherapy with ASA 100mg o.d., and between 2 and 4 weeks under therapy with ASA 100mg o.d. + rivaroxaban (2,5 mg b.i.d.) and treated ex vivo with rivaroxaban to asses platelet activation and function, platelet-triggered thrombin generation and platelet-dependent vascular inflammation.
