Abstract: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has become more and more popular, but how to decrease the thrombotic stenosis of saphenous vein grafts remains a tough problem clinically. Some researchers raised that aspirin resistance (AR) may be one of the most principal causes of graft thrombus and many correlative studies have been reported in recent years．In this article, we reviewed and analyzed the concept and evaluation criterion, incidence rate, mechanisms, clinic significance, and preventing strategy of AR, expecting to deepen the understanding of AR and help to optimize the antiplatelet therapy for postCABG patients with AR.
