StudiesInterventionsDoseDuration (months)ResultMechanism

Li et al. [40]E: CDDP + PCI + conventional treatment
C: PCI + conventional treatment
CDDP: 10 pills, tid3 monthsCombined CDDP may reduce the incidence of MACE in patients
Wang [41]E: CDDP + aspirin
C: aspirin
CDDP: 10 pills, tid
Aspirin: 50–150 mg daily
3 monthsCDDP combined with aspirin is effective in increasing the efficacy of CHD patientsReducing the rate of platelet aggregation, inhibiting platelet aggregation, and reducing thromboxane formation
Yan [42]E: CDDP + PCI + aspirin
C: aspirin
CDDP: 10 pills, tid
Aspirin: 100 mg daily
3 monthsCDDP improves cardiac function and reduces the incidence of major long-term cardiovascular events in patientsImproved myocardial microcirculation
Wei et al. [43]E: DAPT + CDDP
C1: DAPT + bivalirudin
C2: DAPT + bivalirudin + CDDP
CDDP: 10 pills, tid1 weekThe combination group was able to improve cardiac function
Tsai et al. [44]E: DAPT + CDDP
C1: clopidogrel
C2: DAPT
CDDP: 10 pills, tid
Clopidogrel: 75 mg daily
Aspirin: 100 mg daily
3 weeksBetter improvement of symptoms in patients with unstable angina in the combination groupBy downregulating platelet aggregation rate and thromboxane B2
Bo and Hui [45]E: DAPT + Naoxintong capsules
C: DAPT
Naoxintong capsules: 1.6 g, tid1 weekAttenuates myocardial injury after PCIThrough anti-inflammatory effects
Chen et al. [46]E: Naoxintong capsules + aspirin
C: aspirin
Aspirin: 100 mg daily
Naoxintong capsules: 3 pills, tid
1 monthInhibition of platelet activity by Naoxintong capsules is superior to aspirin alone

C: DAPT
Clopidogrel: 75 mg daily
Aspirin: 100 mg daily
Naoxintong capsules: 3 pills, tid
5 daysThe combination achieves more desirable antiplatelet aggregation without increasing the risk of bleeding
Lengqin and Yinghong [48]E: DHI + conventional therapy
C: conventional therapy
DHI: 30 ml daily14 daysDHI can effectively improve the microcirculation state
Qi [49]E: DHI + conventional therapy
C: conventional therapy
DHI: 40 ml daily6 daysDHI reduces myocardial infarct size and has the effect of improving cardiac function in perioperative patients undergoing PCI
Chen-guang et al. [50]E: DHI + conventional therapy
C: conventional therapy
DHI: 40 ml daily2 weeksThe effect of the experimental group was betterImproved levels of inflammatory factors in patients and the inhibition of platelet activation as well as improved endothelial function
Xiaoli and Jianjun [51]E: STS + aspirin
C: aspirin
STS: 16 ml daily
Aspirin: 100 mg daily
2 weeksSTS can improve clinical symptomsSTS can significantly inhibit platelet activation function
Qing [52]E: STS + DAPT
C: DAPT
Aspirin: 100 mg daily
Clopidogrel: 75 mg daily
STS: 80 mg daily
4 weeksSTS can reduce angina recurrenceSTS can improve the inflammatory response, reduce blood viscosity, and protect cardiomyocytes
