Abstract
OBJECTIVE Current guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting. The most common DAPT regimen is aspirin and clopidogrel, a P2Y12 receptor antagonist; however, the prevalence of clopidogrel resistance (CR) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions may exceed 60%. Few studies have investigated the prevalence and impact of CR in patients undergoing extracranial carotid artery stenting, particularly transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR). METHODS Consecutive high-risk patients ≥ 18 years who underwent TCAR for high grade (≥70%) and/or symptomatic (≥50%) carotid stenosis with preoperative P2Y12 testing between August 2019 and December 2021 were identified across five institutions. Preoperative platelet reactivity was measured with the VerifyNow P2Y12 Reaction Unit (PRU) Test (Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, MA), with CR defined as PRU ≥ 194 and hyper-response as PRU <70. Patients without preoperative P2Y12 testing within 30 days prior to TCAR or those on a non-clopidogrel P2Y12 inhibitor preoperatively were excluded. The primary outcome of interest was prevalence of CR. Secondary outcomes of interest included the incidence of ischemic and hemorrhagic complications. RESULTS Of 92 patients identified, the majority were male (59%) and Caucasian (75%) with a mean age of 75 years (±8, range 56-92). Preoperatively, 93% of patients were on aspirin, 100% on clopidogrel, and 13% on therapeutic anticoagulation. At presentation, 36% were symptomatic. The mean preoperative P2Y12 was 156 PRU (±76, range 6-349). In total, 30 (33%) patients met criteria for CR (mean PRU 240 ± 37; range 197-349), and 15 (16%) met criteria for hyper-responder (mean PRU 38 ± 20; range 6-68). There was no significant difference by clopidogrel response phenotype in terms of sex (p = 0.246), race (p = 0.384), or symptomatic presentation (p = 0.956). Postoperatively, the cumulative incidence of stroke and MI was 2.1%, with no statistically significant difference in the incidence of in-hospital stroke (PRU 238, p = 0.489) or MI (PRU 168, p = 1) between clopidogrel phenotypes. Three (3.3%) patients, one CR (PRU 240) and two responders (PRU 119 and PRU 189), experienced postoperative access site hematomas that required no subsequent intervention. No other index hospitalization hemorrhagic complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS Using preoperative P2Y12 testing with a threshold PRU ≥ 194 to define CR, we identified a high prevalence of CR in patients undergoing TCAR similar to that in the pre-existing coronary literature. We found no significant differences in postoperative ischemic or hemorrhagic complications by clopidogrel response phenotype, although complication rates in the overall study cohort were low. CR may be a spectrum from responder to partial responder to complete non-responder, and this may account for the differences in our CR cohort compared to the ROADSTER 2 protocol deviation cohort. Further investigation is warranted to determine if a quantitative assessment of CR is sufficient to identify patients at risk of developing secondary cerebrovascular ischemic events in this patient population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stent-assisted coil embolization (SACE) for cerebral aneurysms requires dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), commonly clopidogrel plus aspirin is preferable to ticagrelor or prasugrel plus aspirin. However, there are few studies assessing the safety of the association of ticagrelor or prasugrel plus aspirin. OBJECTIVES Compare the safety of newer P2Y12 inhibitors with clopidogrel in patients that underwent a SACE for cerebral aneurysms. METHODS In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, we searched PubMed and Embase for studies comparing newer P2Y12 inhibitors with clopidogrel in patients undergoing DAPT for SACE. Outcomes were total number of complications, number of hemorrhagic complications, and number of thromboembolic complications both intraoperative and follow-up. A random effects model was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS We included 1026 patients from six studies. Newer P2Y12 inhibitors were used in 562 (54,77%) patients. There were no significant differences between groups in total number of complications (OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.32, 1.99; p < 0.01; I2 = 78%), in intraoperative hemorrhagic complications (OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.09, 4.71; p = 0.68; I2 = 0%), follow-up hemorrhagic complications (OR 1.23; 95% CI 0.70, 2.15; p = 0.49; I2 = 0%), intraoperative thromboembolic complications (OR 0.43; 95% CI 0.14, 1.35; p = 0.25; I2 = 24%), and in follow-up thromboembolic complications (OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.33, 2.39; p = 0.03; I2 = 59%). CONCLUSION In patients who underwent a SACE, newer P2Y12 inhibitors showed no differences in intraoperative and follow-up complications compared with clopidogrel.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cerebrovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world and antiplatelet therapy is a main pharmacologic means of secondary prevention. Clinical information has accumulated about benefit of dual antiplatelet therapy in certain clinical scenarios, genetic causes of antiplatelet resistance and its effect on clinical outcomes, and ethnic and geographic distributions of genetic polymorphisms. AREAS COVERED This review covers literature related to the pharmacogenomics of antiplatelet agents with a focus on ethnic variability, antiplatelet resistance, and dual antiplatelet therapy in cerebrovascular disease. EXPERT OPINION Selecting patients for dual antiplatelet therapy and specific agents require consideration of multiple factors. Ethnic factors should be considered in certain circumstances, but additional research is needed to determine the generalizability of the findings.

Clopidogrel Resistance and Ticagrelor Replacement in Dual Antiplatelet Therapy for Carotid Artery Stenting. Ann Vasc Surg 2023; 90:128-136.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Resistance to the pharmacological effect of clopidogrel in patients undergoing dual antiplatelet therapy for carotid stenting may increase the risk of periprocedural neurological events. The purpose of the study was to describe the phenomenon of clopidogrel resistance in a series of patients undergoing carotid stenting. METHODS Data of patients who consecutively underwent carotid stenting from November 2016 to December 2020 for a significant stenosis and who underwent a dual antiplatelet therapy using acetyl-salicylic acid and clopidogrel were prospectively collected. Patients who were already taking a different thienopyridine were excluded. The effectiveness of antiplatelet drugs was assessed by the impedance aggregometry test. Primary endpoint was to evaluate the incidence of clopidogrel resistance and the effectiveness of ticagrelor as alternative therapy. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS Two-hundred patients (80 females, 40%) underwent stenting for carotid stenosis (94% asymptomatic). The phenomenon of clopidogrel resistance was observed in 38 patients (19%), in whom clopidogrel was replaced by ticagrelor (90 mg/bis in die) with 100% effectiveness at aggregometry test. Platelet counts was associated to clopidogrel resistance (P = 0.001). There was no stent thrombosis at 30 days, neither major hemorrhagic events; a total of 12/200 major adverse cardiovascular events occurred (6%), including 1 in the group of patients who took ticagrelor and 11 in group of patients under clopidogrel (2.6% versus 6.7%, P = 0.55). CONCLUSIONS Clopidogrel was ineffective in 19% of patients undergoing carotid stenting. Platelet count seemed to affect this phenomenon. In these patients, clopidogrel was effectively replaced by ticagrelor.

Abstract
A nonoptimized medication therapy (NOMT) event is an iatrogenic hazard or incident associated with medications and is a leading cause of death, serious injury, and illness. NOMT events are often related to multidrug interactions in patients with polypharmacy. In these patients, NOMT events can be avoided by using advanced clinical decision support systems and clinical interventions such as separating the time of administration of certain drugs during the day. At the individual level, medication reconciliation is a first logical step for reducing adverse side effects. Then, intersubject variability in drug response should be considered to optimize patient drug regimens. Furthermore, patient pharmacogenomic status information can help ensure appropriateness of drug therapy. However, in patients with polypharmacy, such information is most valuable when combined with phenoconversion probability. At a population level, the virtual addition of drugs to various drug regimens and the use of a medication risk score can help predict the risk of NOMT events. This review outlines some of the mechanisms behind multidrug interactions and their association with drug safety and NOMTs, polypharmacy and its impact on patient outcomes, the value of pharmacogenomics, and an assessment of simulation studies and the virtual addition of drugs to a drug regimen using real-world data.

Abstract
Introduction The introduction of a carotid stent involves the use of effective antiplatelet therapy to maintain stent patency. We present a case report of combined acute revascularization in a patient with occlusion in recently introduced stents of both carotid arteries. Methods The patient (male, 73 years) was admitted for stroke recurrence upon discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy. According to the CTA, the closure of implanted stents of both carotid arteries was confirmed. Intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy were performed with complete recanalization of the left carotid stent. At 3 days apart, clinical deterioration was found with progressive stent restenosis. Percutaneous transluminal stent angioplasty, mechanical embolectomy and prolonged low-dose intravenous thrombolysis have been used repeatedly. Results With the impossibility of maintaining the patency of carotid stents even on the maximum drug therapy and despite endovascular procedures, bilateral neurosurgical revascularization of the middle cerebral arteries using ECIC bypasses was successfully performed. Prolonged low-dose intravenous thrombolysis (20 mg recombinant plasminogen aktivator (rTPA)/10 h) has proven to be an acute bridging therapy until surgery. Conclusion Early occlusion of the carotid stent is a significant complication of endovascular treatment of stenotic arteries. ECIC bypass revascularization of the middle cerebral artery can be a highly effective therapeutic procedure.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling of Clopidogrel and Its Four Relevant Metabolites for CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 Drug–Drug–Gene Interaction Predictions. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14050915. [PMID: 35631502 PMCID: PMC9145019 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14050915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The antiplatelet agent clopidogrel is listed by the FDA as a strong clinical index inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 and weak clinical inhibitor of CYP2B6. Moreover, clopidogrel is a substrate of—among others—CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. This work presents the development of a whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of clopidogrel including the relevant metabolites, clopidogrel carboxylic acid, clopidogrel acyl glucuronide, 2-oxo-clopidogrel, and the active thiol metabolite, with subsequent application for drug–gene interaction (DGI) and drug–drug interaction (DDI) predictions. Model building was performed in PK-Sim® using 66 plasma concentration-time profiles of clopidogrel and its metabolites. The comprehensive parent-metabolite model covers biotransformation via carboxylesterase (CES) 1, CES2, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and uridine 5′-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7. Moreover, CYP2C19 was incorporated for normal, intermediate, and poor metabolizer phenotypes. Good predictive performance of the model was demonstrated for the DGI involving CYP2C19, with 17/19 predicted DGI AUClast and 19/19 predicted DGI Cmax ratios within 2-fold of their observed values. Furthermore, DDIs involving bupropion, omeprazole, montelukast, pioglitazone, repaglinide, and rifampicin showed 13/13 predicted DDI AUClast and 13/13 predicted DDI Cmax ratios within 2-fold of their observed ratios. After publication, the model will be made publicly accessible in the Open Systems Pharmacology repository.
