Ih Georg As transient ecchymosis and/or petechiae, certainly due to the physical impact of shock waves, may be reportede in some studies, using anticoagulant medication and ESWT simultaneously, it seems to me to be inappropriate. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28890412 In my general practice I consider it as contraindication. Hope this helps.

Is Shockwave appropriate for patients being treated on Ticagrelor
A patient attended a shockwave whilst on a does of Ticagrelor as an anticoagulant medication as an addition to Asprin. It is not a medication we are aware of and unsure of its action. We would apprectiate any advice regardign Ticagrelor and whether shockwave is still appropriate?
Thanks,
George
