No. Aspirin prevents the synthesis of Thromboxane A2 which induces platelet aggregation (formation of a clot) and platelet release reaction. Aspirin inhibits this platelet aggregation for the life of the platelets, which is between 7-10 days. The cool thing with aspirin is that it thins your blood, the bad thing is that it thins your blood and if you want to stop taking aspirin (for any reason, even before surgery) you have a 3x increase of stroke or heart attack for 8-10 days because of its rebound effect. Aspirin is a light-weight compared to Heparin or Coumadin, but Heparin is easily reversed with Protamine-sulfate solution 1% and Coumadin with Vitamin K - something to think about. Maybe one day a drug will be created to reactivate Thromboxane A2 synthesis, but not yet. Trust your PA-C's.
