C2 - Wednesday, September 15, 1982 - North Shore News MAYO CLINIC REPORTS ON NEW TREATMENT Aspirin hel BOSTON (UPI) - A com- bination of aspirin and a 20- year-old heart drug can help prevent blood clots during early recovery from coronary bypass surgery, says a report from the Mayo Chinic. The key is to give patients the ‘heart drug, dipyridamole, before surgery and combine it with aspirin. after, doctors reported in the New England Journal of Medicine. The medications work in different ways to prevent the buildup of platelets, which help coagulate blood, in transplanted blood vessels during the crucial days after surgery. Only eight percent of the patients treated with the two drugs developed clotting within a month after the operation. That compared with 21 percent of the other patients in the study, the doctors reported. FALL IS IN the air, and a new fashion season awakens to the glow of gold.

The timing of the drugs made it different from four previous studies that found little or no benefit in the combination. Dipyramidol, introduced in 1962 for the treatment of angina, was given two. days. before surgery and aspirim seven hours after. The two drugs work as a team.

Previous studies over the past decade have shown dipyramidole, with or without aspirin, has different effects on men and women, i on their con- dition. The Mayo study found the combination had the same effect on 36 women as it did on the 371 men, but the number was too small to tell for sure.
