Abstract
Data are limited on the impact of commencing antiplatelet therapy on von Willebrand Factor Antigen (VWF:Ag) or von Willebrand Factor propeptide (VWFpp) levels and ADAMTS13 activity, and their relationship with platelet reactivity following TIA/ischaemic stroke. In this pilot, observational study, VWF:Ag and VWFpp levels and ADAMTS13 activity were quantified in 48 patients ≤4 weeks of TIA/ischaemic stroke (baseline), and 14 days (14d) and 90 days (90d) after commencing aspirin, clopidogrel or aspirin+dipyridamole. Platelet reactivity was assessed at moderately-high shear stress (PFA-100® Collagen-Epinephrine / Collagen-ADP / INNOVANCE PFA P2Y assays), and low shear stress (VerifyNow® Aspirin / P2Y12, and Multiplate® Aspirin / ADP assays). VWF:Ag levels decreased and VWFpp/VWF:Ag ratio increased between baseline and 14d and 90d in the overall population (P ≤ 0.03). In the clopidogrel subgroup, VWF:Ag levels decreased and VWFpp/VWF:Ag ratio increased between baseline and 14d and 90d (P ≤ 0.01), with an increase in ADAMTS13 activity between baseline vs. 90d (P ≤ 0.03). In the aspirin+dipyridamole subgroup, there was an inverse relationship between VWF:Ag and VWFpp levels with both PFA-100 C-ADP and INNOVANCE PFA P2Y closure times (CTs) at baseline (P ≤ 0.02), with PFA-100 C-ADP, INNOVANCE PFA P2Y and C-EPI CTs at 14d (P ≤ 0.05), and between VWF:Ag levels and PFA-100 INNOVANCE PFA P2Y CTs at 90d (P = 0.03). There was a positive relationship between ADAMTS13 activity and PFA-100 C-ADP CTs at baseline (R2 = 0.254; P = 0.04). Commencing/altering antiplatelet therapy, mainly attributed to commencing clopidogrel in this study, was associated with decreasing endothelial activation following TIA/ischaemic stroke. These data enhance our understanding of the impact of VWF:Ag and VWFpp especially on ex-vivo platelet reactivity status at high shear stress after TIA/ischaemic stroke.

Association of Impedance Aggregometry-Measured Platelet Aggregation With Thromboembolic Events in Patients Who Undergo Carotid Endarterectomy: A Pilot Study. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2024; 38:771-779. [PMID: 38320918 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2023.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the current study was to assess the relationship among thrombin receptor activator peptide 6 (TRAP test), adenosine-5'-diphosphate (ADP test), arachidonic acid (ASPI test), and stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA), using the multiple electrode aggregometry (Multiplate) in patients undergoing carotid thromboendarterectomy (CEA). DESIGN A retrospective study. SETTING Vascular surgery operating rooms of a university hospital. PARTICIPANTS One hundred thirty-one out of 474 patients undergoing CEA between November 2020 and October 2022. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A preoperative blood sample of all enrolled patients was analyzed using the Multiplate analyzer. Receiver operating characteristics curves, were generated to test the ability of TRAP, ADP, and ASPI in discriminating perioperative thromboembolic stroke/TIA. A logistic LASSO regression model was used to identify factors independently associated with stroke/TIA. Eight patients experienced a perioperative stroke/TIA. Although all the platelet functional assays showed excellent predictive performance, an ADP value exceeding 72 U showed the highest specificity (87%) and sensitivity (68%) in discriminating patients who had a perioperative thromboembolic stroke/TIA, with a negative predictive value of 99% and a positive predictive value of 15%. After LASSO regression, an ADP >72 U and the need for a shunt during CEA were the only 2 variables independently associated with perioperative stroke/TIA. CONCLUSION Because the ADP test was independently associated with perioperative stroke/TIA, the assessment of platelet reactivity using Multiplate may offer potential utility in monitoring patients undergoing CEA.
