چکیده

Antiplatelet resistance is emerging as a significant factor in effective secondary stroke prevention. Prevalence of aspirin and clopidogrel resistance is dependent upon laboratory test and remains contentious. Large studies in cardiovascular disease populations have demonstrated worse ischemic outcomes in patients with antiplatelet resistance, particularly in patients with coronary stents. Thromboembolism is a complication of neurointerventional procedures that leads to stroke. Stroke rates related to aneurysm coiling range from 2 to 10% and may be higher when considering silent ischemia. Stroke associated with carotid stenting is a major cause of morbidity. Antiplatelet use in the periprocedure setting varies among different centers. No guidelines exist for use of antiplatelet regimens in neurointerventional procedures. Incidence of stroke in patients post procedure may be partly explained by resistance to antiplatelet agents. Further research is required to establish the incidence of stroke in patients with antiplatelet resistance undergoing neurointerventional procedures.

Clopidogrel hyper-response and bleeding risk in neurointerventional procedures.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Antiplatelet therapy is associated with decreased ischemic events after neurointerventional procedures. Antiplatelet resistance negates the protective effects of antiplatelet medication, leading to a higher incidence of ischemic events. A possible link between antiplatelet hyper-response and increased hemorrhagic complications has been inadequately investigated. We aimed ...

Clopidogrel resistance is associated with thromboembolic complications in patients undergoing neurovascular stenting.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Antiplatelet drug resistance has been associated with thromboembolic complications in patients after coronary stent placement. It has not been well-studied in patients who have neurovascular stent-placement procedures. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between antiplatelet drug resistance and neurovascular stent-placement complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...

Genetic determinations of variable responsiveness to clopidogrel and implications for neurointerventional procedures.

Endovascular intervention is emerging as a substitute for open surgical procedures for the treatment of cerebrovascular disease. However, up to 9% of patients undergoing neurointerventional procedures develop thromboembolic complications. Strategies to reduce periprocedural thromboembolic events are dominated by the use of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAT) which has been validated based on studie...

Hemorrhagic complications after prasugrel (Effient) therapy for vascular neurointerventional procedures

INTRODUCTION Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a thienopyridine (eg, clopidogrel) prevents stent related thromboembolic events in cardiac patients and is frequently utilized during neurointerventional surgery. However, recent data suggest that many patients exhibit clopidogrel resistance. Prasugrel-a newer thienopyridine-lowers the rate of cardiac stent thromboses in clopidogrel...
