[Verse 1] When synthetic conduits bridge the heart And patches seal the chambers tight Five milligrams per kilogram starts The aspirin protection every night Prosthetic surfaces need defense Against the clots that form within Antiplatelet makes good sense Let the circulation begin [Chorus] Five per kilo, day by day Keeps the thrombus formation away Synthetic surfaces need the guard Aspirin protection for the heart Lifelong therapy, that's the way Unless we change the conduit someday [Verse 2] Truncus repair with conduits new Creates a foreign surface zone Platelets gather, that's what they do Without protection they're not alone They stick and clump and form a mass Blocking flow where blood should go Aspirin helps the circulation pass Keeps the vital rivers in flow [Chorus] Five per kilo, day by day Keeps the thrombus formation away Synthetic surfaces need the guard Aspirin protection for the heart Lifelong therapy, that's the way Unless we change the conduit someday [Bridge] When stents are placed inside the line Dual therapy for a time Two agents working side by side Until the healing is our guide But when conduits get replaced Reassess the therapy placed [Verse 3] Generally lifelong is the rule For conduits that bridge the gap Each replacement calls for retool Evaluate the therapy map The synthetic materials stay Foreign to the body's eye So antiplatelet paves the way For circulation flowing by [Final Chorus] Five per kilo, day by day Keeps the thrombus formation away Synthetic surfaces need the guard Aspirin protection for the heart Lifelong therapy, that's the way Reassess each replacement day [Outro] Antiplatelet therapy Protects the heart's geometry
