Overview

Brief Summary

This study was designed to identify high platelet reactivity (HPR) who might have in-stent thrombosis in unruptured aneurysm with intracranial stent placement with light transmittance platelet aggregometry (LTA). For HPR patients, higher ischemic stroke rate maybe occurred, and we hypothesis that dose adjustment of aspirin and clopidogrel based on LTA monitoring maybe reduces the rate of ischemic stroke compared to a standard strategy after intracranial stent implantation at early periprocedural period and 1 month follow-up period.

Detailed Description

For the patients of unruptured intracranial aneurysms with stent placement, standard antiplatelet therapy (100mg aspirin + 75mg clopidogrel) is considered to be the most effective antiplatelet regimen in reducing ischemic complications. However, despite the use of standard antiplatelet therapy, a number of patients continue to have ischemic events. A hypothesis is that high platelet reactivity (HPR) patients identified by platelet function test have higher ratio of the ischemic events, and dose adjustment of HPR patients reduces the rate of the ischemic complications at early periprocedural period and follow-up period. Objectives: The study aim to evaluated the superiority of the strategy of platelet function test(Monitoring Arm) with the modified strategy in HPR patients compared to the standard strategy (Conventional Arm) whether reduce the primary endpoint after intracranial stent implantation at early periprocedural period (7 days) and 1 months follow-up period.

  • patients who is able to understand the objective of the trial, agrees and signs the written informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria

  • The complications related to operation or material quality, such as guidewire pierces out blood vessel, coil herniation, incompletely opened stent, etc;
  • Simultaneous treatment of other cerebrovascular diseases, such as intracranial arteriovenous malformation, Intracranial arteriovenous fistula, etc;
  • Patient with history of hypersensitivity of aspirin, clopidogrel, or ticagrelor;
  • Patients with preoperative prophylactic use of tirofiban;
  • Patients with a high possibility of active bleeding, such as symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage or active gastric ulcer; or patients with coagulopathy;
  • Patients with thrombocytopenia (platelet count \<100,000/mm3 within three months before enrollment);

  • Poor compliance patients.

Arms & Interventions

Monitoring Arm

Randomization: based on light transmittance aggregometry, modified dose of antiplatelet therapy(aspirin and ticagrelor) was used for high platelet reactivity(HPR) patients with intracranial stent placement, and standard antiplatelet regimen(aspirin and clopidogrel) was used in non-HPR patients.

Intervention: Aspirin and clopidogrel/Ticagrelor

Monitoring Arm

Randomization: based on light transmittance aggregometry, modified dose of antiplatelet therapy(aspirin and ticagrelor) was used for high platelet reactivity(HPR) patients with intracranial stent placement, and standard antiplatelet regimen(aspirin and clopidogrel) was used in non-HPR patients.

Intervention: Light transmittance aggregometry

Conventional Arm

Randomization: without light transmittance aggregometry, standard antiplatelet regimen was used for unruptured aneurysm patients with intracranial stent.

Intervention: Aspirin and clopidogrel/Ticagrelor

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

A thromboembolic event during the early periprocedural period (within 7 days after stent placement)

Time Frame: within 7 days of patients' enrolled.

The thromboembolic events were assessed by clinical examination. The thromboembolic events was a composite of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, stent thrombosis, urgent revascularization, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular death.

Secondary Outcomes

  • A thromboembolic event during the 1 month follow-up periods.(within 1 month of patients' enrolled.)
