Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The optimal antiplatelet regimen after flow diverter treatment of cerebral aneurysms is still a matter of debate. A single antiplatelet therapy might be advantageous in determined clinical scenarios. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of prasugrel single antiplatelet therapy versus aspirin and clopidogrel dual antiplatelet therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a post hoc analysis of 4 retrospective multicenter studies including ruptured and unruptured aneurysms treated with flow diversion using either prasugrel single antiplatelet therapy or dual antiplatelet therapy. Primary end points were the occurrence of any kind of procedure- or device-related thromboembolic complications and complete aneurysm occlusion at the latest radiologic follow-up (mean, 18 months). Dichotomized comparisons of outcomes were performed between single antiplatelet therapy and dual antiplatelet therapy. Additionally, the influence of various patient- and aneurysm-related variables on the occurrence of thromboembolic complications was investigated using multivariable backward logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 222 patients with 251 aneurysms were included, 90 (40.5%) in the single antiplatelet therapy and 132 (59.5%) in the dual antiplatelet therapy group. The primary outcome-procedure- or device-related thromboembolic complications-occurred in 6 patients (6.6%) of the single antiplatelet therapy and in 12 patients (9.0%) of the dual antiplatelet therapy group (P = .62; OR, 0.712; 95% CI, 0.260-1.930). The primary treatment efficacy end point was reached in 82 patients (80.4%) of the single antiplatelet therapy and in 115 patients (78.2%) of the dual antiplatelet therapy group (P = .752; OR, 1.141; 95% CI, 0.599-2.101). Logistic regression showed that non-surface-modified flow diverters (P = .014) and fusiform aneurysm morphology (P = .004) significantly increased the probability of thromboembolic complications. CONCLUSIONS Prasugrel single antiplatelet therapy after flow diverter treatment may be as safe and effective as dual antiplatelet therapy and could, therefore, be a valid alternative in selected patients. Further prospective comparative studies are required to validate our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This multicenter study evaluated the safety and efficacy of coated flow diverters (cFDs) for the treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. METHODS Consecutive patients treated with different cFDs for ruptured aneurysms under tirofiban at eight neurovascular centers between 2016 and 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The majority of patients were loaded with dual antiplatelet therapy after the treatment. Aneurysm occlusion was determined using the O'Kelly-Marotta (OKM) grading scale. Primary outcome measures were major procedural complications and aneurysmal rebleeding during hospitalization. RESULTS The study included 60 aneurysms (posterior circulation: 28 (47%)) with a mean size of 5.8±4.7 mm. Aneurysm morphology was saccular in 28 (47%), blister-like in 12 (20%), dissecting in 13 (22%), and fusiform in 7 (12%). Technical success was 100% with a mean of 1.1 cFDs implanted per aneurysm. Adjunctive coiling was performed in 11 (18%) aneurysms. Immediate contrast retention was observed in 45 (75%) aneurysms. There was 1 (2%) major procedural complication (a major stroke, eventually leading to death) and no aneurysmal rebleeding. A good outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) was achieved in 40 (67%) patients. At a mean follow-up of 6 months, 27/34 (79%) aneurysms were completely occluded (OKM D), 3/34 (9%) had an entry remnant (OKM C), and 4/34 (12%) had residual filling (OKM A or B). There was 1 (3%) severe in-stent stenosis during follow-up that was treated with balloon angioplasty. CONCLUSIONS Treatment of ruptured aneurysms with cFDs was reasonably safe and efficient and thus represents a valid treatment option, especially for complex cases.

Efficacy and Safety of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy with the Routine Use of Prasugrel for Flow Diversion of Cerebral Unruptured Aneurysms. Clin Neuroradiol 2024; 34:201-208. [PMID: 37847296 PMCID: PMC10881594 DOI: 10.1007/s00062-023-01355-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Prasugrel is not approved for patients treated with flow diverters, which have a high metal coverage ratio. However, robust antiplatelet therapy with prasugrel may prevent thromboembolic complications. We administered prasugrel and aspirin to all patients treated with flow diverters and reported the safety of the antiplatelet therapy regimen. METHODS This retrospective, single-center study evaluated the angiographic and clinical data of consecutive patients treated with flow diverters for cerebral unruptured aneurysms between June 2020 and May 2022. All patients received dual antiplatelet therapy, including prasugrel and aspirin. The administration of prasugrel ended 3 or 6 months after the procedure, whereas aspirin use continued for at least 12 months. Periprocedural complications (< 30 days post-procedure) and delayed complications (> 30 days post-procedure) were recorded. RESULTS During the study period, 120 unruptured aneurysms were treated with flow diverters in 110 patients. All patients, except one, survived longer than 12 months after the procedure. The rate of thromboembolic complications was 6.4%, and more than half of the patients had transient symptoms; one (0.9%) had a major ischemic stroke. One patient (0.9%) each had an asymptomatic, small subarachnoid hemorrhage and significant hemorrhagic complications with melena. The rate of permanent neurological deficits was 1.8%, and the mortality rate was 0.9%. CONCLUSIONS Dual antiplatelet therapy comprising routine use of prasugrel and aspirin for flow diverter-implanted patients possibly contributed to a low rate of thromboembolic complications and low risk of hemorrhagic complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A new generation of modified surface flow diverters (FDs) and monotherapy using new antiplatelets may reduce both ischemic and hemorrhagic complications during the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Previous preliminary safety analysis of distal unruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with the FD p48 MW HPC (phenox-Wallaby, Bochum, Germany) under antiplatelet monotherapy with prasugrel showed promising results. However, the long term outcomes of distal intracranial aneurysms treated with FDs under antiplatelet monotherapy are not known. METHODS This was a single center, prospective, pivotal, open single arm study. The primary (safety) endpoint was absence of any new neurological deficits after treatment until the 24 month follow-up. The primary (efficacy) endpoint was the incidence of complete aneurysm occlusion 24 months after treatment. The secondary (efficacy) endpoints were any incidence of aneurysm dome reduction 24 months after treatment. RESULTS 21 patients harboring 27 distal aneurysms of the anterior circulation were included. No patient had neurologic deficits in the time from treatment to the 24 month follow-up. Complete aneurysm occlusion occurred in 20 (74%) of 27 aneurysms at the 24 month follow-up. Four aneurysms (14.8%) had dome reduction, and three aneurysms (11.1%) remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS In this pilot trial, treatment of distal unruptured intracranial aneurysms with an FD under monotherapy with prasugrel, followed by monotherapy with aspirin, appeared to be safe and effective. Randomized studies with long term follow-up are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Objective Intracranial atherosclerosis disease (ICAD) is one of the most common causes of acute ischemic stroke. In endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute large vessel occlusion stroke-related ICAD, reocclusion of the recanalized artery due to in situ thrombosis is problematic. In this study, the safety and efficacy of prasugrel administration to avoid reocclusion of emergent EVT for ICAD was investigated. Methods All consecutive emergent EVTs for ICAD between September 2019 and December 2022 were included in this study. The procedures were divided into two groups as receiving periprocedural prasugrel (PSG group) or not (non-PSG group). Target vessel patency on follow-up, postprocedural intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and clinical outcome were compared between PSG and non-PSG groups. Results A total of 27 procedures were included in this analysis. Nineteen target vessels were patent on follow-up and eight were non-patent. Fifteen patients received prasugrel (18.75 mg: 11 cases, 11.25 mg: 4 cases), and twelve patients did not receive prasugrel. The target vessel patency rate was better in the PSG group vs. non-PSG group (100% vs. 33.3%, respectively; p = 0.0002). The postprocedural ICH rate was not different between the groups (PSG: 40.0% vs. non-PSG: 25.0%; p = 0.68), and all ICHs were asymptomatic. Good clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 3 at discharge) was more frequent in the PSG group than that in the non-PSG group (66.7% vs. 16.7%, respectively; p = 0.019). Conclusion Prasugrel administration was significantly associated with target vessel patency and good clinical outcome after emergent EVT for ICAD without increasing the symptomatic ICH rate. Prasugrel administration might be safe and effective to avoid reocclusion during and after emergent EVT for ICAD.

Abstract
Devices such as stents and flow diverters require the use of safe and fast antiplatelet therapy. We aimed to compare the responses to clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor by assessing the Platelet Function Analysis (PFA-100)-Innovance test results of patients undergoing endovascular stenting to determine their resistance rates. Sixty-one women and 55 men, aged 18-87 years, were included in this study. Patients were divided into three groups: clopidogrel treatment, prasugrel treatment, and ticagrelor treatment. The systemic diseases of the patients, especially hypertension and diabetes, were recorded. The test results were evaluated according to the results for the collagen/epinephrine (COL-EPI), collagen/adenosine (COL-ADP), and P2Y results. The PFA-100-Innovance results for COL-EPI and P2Y were significantly higher for patients treated with prasugrel and ticagrelor compared with patients treated with clopidogrel (COL-EPI, p = 0.001; P2Y, p = 0.001). Clopidogrel resistance was identified in 31 patients (26.7%), and prasugrel resistance was identified in 4 patients (3.4%). Ticagrelor resistance was not detected. Therefore, 30.1% of patients were classified as drug-resistant. Perioperative bleeding was not detected in any patient. Hypertension was the most common disease recorded for patients being treated for cerebral aneurysm, and diabetes was the most common disease recorded for patients who underwent peripheral artery stenting (p = 0.002). Potent antiplatelet agents, such as prasugrel and ticagrelor, have a low rate of resistance but are associated with an increased bleeding risk. Thus, the choice of a suitable drug during the treatment window remains a critical factor when determining treatment strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The effectiveness and safety of low-dose prasugrel (PSG) premedication for endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) have been widely reported. In this study, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of elders patients (≥ 75 years) treated with PSG. METHODS A total of 200 patients with 209 UIAs who were administered PSG as premedication (20 mg loading and 5 mg maintenance with 100 mg aspirin) between March 2018 and December 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. Among them, 39 patients were aged 75 years or over (elders group), and 161 patients were aged under 75 years (control group). Patients' clinical data were collected, and outcomes were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Of the 200 patients with PSG, 9 cases (4.5%) had overall complications (7 ischemic, 2 hemorrhagic). In the comparison between the elders group and the control group, no significant differences were observed in the overall complication rates (elders group vs. control group; 2.6% vs. 5.0%, P = 1.00). Moreover, the rates of poor clinical outcome were comparable (2.6% vs. 1.2%, P = 0.48). The subgroup analysis of patients with stent-assisted procedures revealed no significant differences in complication rates (0% vs. 1.6%, P = 1.00) or poor clinical outcomes (0% vs. 0%, P = 1.00) during maintenance with aspirin 100 mg or PSG 5 mg. CONCLUSION The complication rates in the elders treated with low-dose PSG premedication were similar to those in the control. Low-dose PSG premedication could be prescribed without any additional risk for the endovascular treatment of UIAs in elders patients.

Antiplatelet therapy adjustment improved the radiomic characteristics of acute silent cerebral infarction after stent-assisted coiling in patients with high on-treatment platelet reactivity: A prospective study. Front Neurosci 2023; 17:1068047. [PMID: 36845416 PMCID: PMC9948085 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2023.1068047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background We aimed to investigate the effects of high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) and antiplatelet therapy adjustment on high-risk radiomic features in patients with antiplatelet therapy adjustment on acute silent cerebral infarction (ASCI) who had unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) after stent placement. Methods This single-institution study prospectively included 230 UIA patients who had ACSI after stent placement in our hospital between January 2015 and July 2020. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion-weighted imaging (MRI-DWI) after stent placement and 1,485 radiomic features were extracted from each patient. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression methods were used for selection of high-risk radiomic features associated with clinical symptoms. In addition, 199 patients with ASCI were classified into three groups: controls without HPR (n = 113), HPR patients with standard antiplatelet therapy (n = 63) and HPR patients with antiplatelet therapy adjustment (n = 23). We compared high-risk radiomic features between three groups. Results Of the patients who had acute infarction after MRI-DWI, 31 (13.5%) exhibited clinical symptoms. Eight risk radiomic features associated with clinical symptoms were selected, and the radiomics signature exhibited good performance. In ASCI patients, compared with controls, the radiomic characteristics of ischemic lesion in HPR patients were consistent with the following high-risk radiomic features associated with clinical symptoms: higher gray-level values, greater variance in intensity values, and greater homogeneity. However, the adjustment of antiplatelet therapy in HPR patients modified the high-risk radiomic features, which showed lower gray-level values, less variance in intensity values, and more heterogeneous texture. The radiomic shape feature of elongation showed no notable difference between three groups. Conclusion Adjustment of antiplatelet therapy might reduce the high-risk radiomic features of UIA patients with HPR after stent placement.

Clinical Usage of Different Doses of Cis-Atracurium in Intracranial Aneurysm Surgery and Its Effect on Motor-Evoked Potentials. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:5910019. [PMID: 35799657 PMCID: PMC9256351 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5910019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of different doses of cis-atracurium on patients undergoing general anesthesia induction (GAI) during intracranial aneurysm surgery (ICAS). In this work, 90 patients who underwent ICAS under the elective motor-evoked potential (MEP) monitoring in the First Affiliated Hospital of Northwest University (Xi'an No. 1 Hospital) from January 2021 to May 2022 were enrolled as the research objects. Randomly, they were rolled into a S1 group (30 cases, 2 times 95% effective dose (ED95) cis-atracurium), a S2 group (30 cases, 3 times ED95 cis-atracurium), and a S3 group (30 cases, 4 times ED95 cis-atracurium). The endotracheal intubation conditions, the train-of-four (TOF) rate (TOFR), body movement, and spontaneous breathing were compared among the three groups of patients. The results showed that the MEP inhibition time of the patients in the S3 group was much longer than that of the S1 and S2 groups, but it showed no significant difference between the S1 group and S2 group (P > 0.05). The good rates of endotracheal intubation conditions in the S2 group (100%) and S3 group (100%) were obviously higher than the rate in the S1 group (43.33%). The TOFRs of patients in S2 and S3 groups at time t2 and t3 were lower obviously to that at time t0, while the TOFRs of patients in S3 group at time t2 and t3 were still lower in contrast to the S2 group (P < 0.05). The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) of patients in all groups were lower at t1, t2, and t3 than at t0 (P < 0.05), while the differences among different groups were not remarkable (P > 0.05). Finally, using 3 times ED95 cis-atracurium for GAI could reduce the risk of intraoperative body movement and spontaneous breathing, as well as the residual degree of muscle relaxation, in patients with ICAS, without affecting MEP monitoring, improving endotracheal intubation conditions, and increasing safety during open neurosurgery operations.

Abstract
Endovascular techniques have expanded to include balloon and stent-assistance, flow diversion and individualized endovascular occlusion devices, to widen the treatment spectrum for more complex aneurysm morphologies. While usually well-tolerated by patients, endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms carries the risk of complications, with procedure-related ischemic complications being the most common. Several antiplatelet agents have been studied in a neurointerventional setting for both prophylaxis and in the setting of intraprocedural thrombotic complications. Knowledge of these antiplatelet agents, evidence for their use and common dosages is important for the practicing neurointerventionist to ensure the proper application of these agents.Part one of this two-part review focused on basic platelet physiology, pharmacology of common antiplatelet medications and future directions and therapies. Part two focuses on clinical applications and evidence based therapeutic regimens.

Reduction of thromboembolic complications during the endovascular treatment of unruptured aneurysms by employing a tailored dual antiplatelet regimen using aspirin and prasugrel. J Neurointerv Surg 2021; 13:1044-1048.

Abstract
Background Thromboembolic complications (TECs) are frequent during the endovascular treatment of unruptured aneurysms. To prevent TECs, dual antiplatelet therapy using aspirin and clopidogrel is recommended for the perioperative period. In patients with a poor response, clopidogrel is a risk factor for TECs. To prevent TECs, our study assessed the stratified use of prasugrel. Methods Patients who underwent endovascular therapy for unruptured cerebral aneurysms from April 2017 to August 2019 were enrolled in this clinical study and given premedication with aspirin and clopidogrel for 2 weeks prior to the procedure. P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) were measured using the VerifyNow assay on the day before the procedure (tailored group). In subgroups with PRU <240, the clopidogrel dose was maintained (CPG subgroup). In subgroups with PRU ≥240, clopidogrel was changed to prasugrel (PSG subgroup). We compared the occurrence of TECs with retrospective consecutive cases from January 2015 to March 2017 without PRU assessments (non-tailored group). The frequency of TECs within 30 days was assessed as the primary endpoint. Results The tailored and non-tailored groups comprised 167 and 50 patients, respectively. TECs occurred in 11 (6.6%) and 8 (16%) patients in the tailored and non-tailored groups (P=0.048), respectively. The HR for TECs was significantly reduced in the tailored group (HR 0.3, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.81); P=0.017) compared with the non-tailored group. Conclusion The results suggest that tailored dual antiplatelet therapy medication with PRU significantly reduces the frequency of TECs without increasing hemorrhagic complications.

Treatment of distal unruptured intracranial aneurysms using a surface-modified flow diverter under prasugrel monotherapy: a pilot safety trial. J Neurointerv Surg 2021; 13:647-651. [PMID: 33632882 DOI: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2020-017262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Revised: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Flow diverters (FDs) are effective in the treatment of carotid aneurysms. Compared with carotid aneurysms, the treatment of distal intracranial aneurysms with FDs has been associated with a relatively high incidence of complications. Low thrombogenic modified-surface FDs may reduce ischemic complications and allow for the use of a single antiplatelet medication. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the p48 MW HPC Flow Modulation Device (Phenox GmbH, Bochum, Germany) to treat distal intracranial aneurysms used in combination with prasugrel monotherapy. METHODS This was a single-center, prospective, pivotal, open, single-arm study. Patients were included in this study from December 2019 to September 2020. The primary endpoints were the incidence of any neurologic deficit after treatment until 1 month of follow-up, defined as National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) ≥1, and the incidence of acute ischemic lesions in magnetic resonance imagin (MRI) images 48 hours after treatment. The secondary endpoint was the rate of complete occlusion of the aneurysms at the 1-month follow-up. RESULTS Twenty-one patients harboring 27 distal aneurysms of the anterior circulation were included. Mean age was 57.8 (SD 9.7) years, and 16 patients were female (80%). No patient had neurologic symptoms at the 1-month follow-up. Four patients (20%) had asymptomatic acute brain ischemic lesions on MRI. Complete aneurysm occlusion occurred in 9/27 (33.3%) aneurysms at the 1-month follow-up. CONCLUSION In this pilot safety trial, treatment of distal intracranial aneurysms with p48 MW HPC under monotherapy with prasugrel appeared to be safe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is a paucity of data regarding antiplatelet management strategies in the setting of stent-assisted coiling/flow diversion for ruptured intracranial aneurysms. This study aimed to identify current challenges in antiplatelet management during stent-assisted coiling/flow diversion for ruptured intracranial aneurysms and to outline possible antiplatelet management strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS The modified DELPHI approach with an on-line questionnaire was sent in several iterations to an international, multidisciplinary panel of 15 neurointerventionalists. The first round consisted of open-ended questions, followed by closed-ended questions in the subsequent rounds. Responses were analyzed in an anonymous fashion and summarized in the final manuscript draft. The statement received endorsement from the World Federation of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology, the Japanese Society for Neuroendovascular Therapy, and the Chinese Neurosurgical Society. RESULTS Data were collected from December 9, 2019, to March 13, 2020. Panel members achieved consensus that platelet function testing may not be necessary and that antiplatelet management for stent-assisted coiling and flow diversion of ruptured intracranial aneurysms can follow the same principles. Preprocedural placement of a ventricular drain was thought to be beneficial in cases with a high risk of hydrocephalus. A periprocedural dual, intravenous, antiplatelet regimen with aspirin and a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor was preferred as a standard approach. The panel agreed that intravenous medication can be converted to oral aspirin and an oral P2Y12 inhibitor within 24 hours after the procedure. CONCLUSIONS More and better data on antiplatelet management of patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms undergoing stent-assisted coiling or flow diversion are urgently needed. Panel members in this DELPHI consensus study preferred a periprocedural dual-antiplatelet regimen with aspirin and a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence about the safety and the efficacy of flow diversion for distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms is scant. To provide further insight into flow diversion for aneurysms located at, or distal to, the A2 segment. METHODS Consecutive patients receiving flow diversion for DACA aneurysms were retrieved from our prospective database (2014-2020). A PRISMA guidelines-based systematic review of the literature was performed. Aneurysm occlusion (O'Kelly-Marotta=OKM) and clinical outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS Twenty-three patients and 25 unruptured saccular DACA aneurysms treated with flow diversion were included. Aneurysm size ranged from 2 mm to 9 mm (mean size 4.5 mm, SD ±1.6). Mean parent artery diameter was 1.8 mm (range, 1.2-3 mm, SD ±0.39). Successful stent deployment was achieved in all cases. Angiographic adequate occlusion (OKM C-D) at follow-up (14 months) was 79% (19/24 available aneurysms). No cases of aneurysm rupture or retreatment were reported. Univariate analysis showed a significant difference in diameter among aneurysms with adequate (4 mm) vs incomplete occlusion (7 mm) (P=0.006).There was one transient perioperative in-stent thrombosis, and three major events causing neurological morbidity: two stent thromboses (one attributable to the non-adherence of the patient to the antiplatelet therapy); and one acute occlusion of a covered calloso-marginal artery.Results from systematic review (12 studies and 107 A2-A3 aneurysms) showed 78.6% (95% CI=70-86) adequate occlusion, 7.5% (95% CI=3.6-14) complications, and 2.8%, (3/107, 95% CI=0.6-8.2) morbidity. CONCLUSIONS Flow diversion among DACA aneurysms is effective, especially among small lesions. However, potential morbidity related to in-stent thrombosis and covered side branches should be considered when planning this strategy.

Abstract
Objective In neuroendovascular therapy, clopidogrel resistance and thrombosis are common problems. In such cases, we use prasugrel as rescue medication, and we clarified its usefulness. Methods We retrospectively investigated 199 consecutive cases of neuroendovascular therapy performed at our hospital from April 2016 to March 2018, and examined the safety and effectiveness of prasugrel. Results There were 14 cases of prasugrel administration: six cases of coil embolization for cerebral aneurysm, five cases of carotid artery stenting (CAS), and three other cases.The reasons for prasugrel administration were as follows: emergency stent use in four cases, intraoperative thrombosis in three cases, intra-stent thrombosis after CAS in three cases, and others in four cases. In all cases, it was used in combination with aspirin and the median duration of administration was 212 days. Regarding its safety, there was one hemorrhagic complication at the puncture site for which the involvement of prasugrel was unable to be excluded, but it was improved by conservative treatment and there was no major hemorrhage such as intracranial hemorrhage. Regarding its efficacy, in one case, the thrombus during coil embolization did not completely disappear after prasugrel administration and additional mechanical thrombolysis was required. However, no new thrombosis was observed during prasugrel administration in all 14 cases. Conclusion Prasugrel may be useful as a rescue medication in neuroendovascular therapy.
