This is in line with in vitro and ex vivo studies showing no interaction when cangrelor is administered on top of thienopyridines or ticagrelor and is associated with enhanced antiplatelet effects.

JACC Cardiovasc Interv. 2014;7:426-34 JACC Cardiovasc Interv. 2017;10:1374–1375 Expert Consensus Recommendations on Switching Bridging from oral to intravenous P2Y12 inhibitors • For both cardiac and noncardiac surgery, if withdrawal of P2Y12 inhibiting therapy is needed, clopidogrel and ticagrelor should be discontinued for 5 days and prasugrel for 7 days. • It is reasonable to start cangrelor bridging up to 3 to 4 days after prasugrel discontinuation and 2 to 3 days of clopidogrel and ticagrelor discontinuation. Platelet function testing may be considered to help guide timing of starting cangrelor infusion. • After surgery, regardless of bridging strategy, clopidogrel should be resumed with a loading dose (LD) as soon as oral administration is possible and the risk of severe bleeding is acceptable (prasugrel and ticagrelor administration should be discouraged). If the use of oral P2Y12-inhibiting therapy is not possible, postsurgery bridging with an intravenous agent should be considered. Angiolillo DJ et al.

Cangrelor to ticagrelor transition Ticagrelor and its major metabolite will not bind to the P2Y12 receptor when occupied. However, given their half-lives of ~10-12 hrs, they will be available for binding once cangrelor has been cleared. Therefore, ticagrelor can be administered before, during of after cangrelor infusion. CANGRELOR CANGRELOR + TICAGRELOR Adapted from Rollini F, Franchi
