Abstract
Current practice of weight-based aspirin dosing may lead to subtherapeutic platelet inhibition in some children. Aspirin unresponsiveness is associated with increased risk of thrombosis after specific pediatric cardiac surgical procedures. Aspirin dose increase in unresponsive patients is associated with reduced risk of thrombosis.
