Table 3 Primary and secondary outcome events. Data were compared using Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. *1 cerebral hemorrhage, 1 hemoglobin drop needing transfusion in the clopidogrel group. †2 epistaxis, 1 upperarm petechiae in the clopidogrel group, 1 vitreous hemorrahge in the sarpogrelate group. ‡Causes of death were septic shock (n = 1), heart failure (n = 1), unknown (n = 1) in clopidogrel group, and myocardial infarction (n = 1), bowel perforation (n = 1) in the sarpogrelate group. § Any serious adverse event defined as all-cause death, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, systemic embolism, acute coronary syndrome, early thrombotic occlusion, major bleeding, and major amputation.

From: A multicenter, randomized, open-labelled, non-inferiority trial of sustained-release sarpogrelate versus clopidogrel after femoropopliteal artery intervention
