In the context of neurointerventional procedures, clopidogrel hyper-responsiveness has
been associated with hemorrhage; on the other hand, clopidogrel resistance has been …

Background: Platelet inhibitors are used to prevent thromboembolic complications related to
neurovascular stenting (NVS) procedures. Despite substantial inter-individual variability of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Growing evidence of the relationship between poor
antiplatelet response and occurrence of clinical events elicited the need of monitoring the …

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess clopidogrel resistance and whether
“intensified” antiplatelet therapy guided by platelet inhibition tests during neuroendovascular …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Antiplatelet therapy is associated with decreased ischemic
events after neurointerventional procedures. Antiplatelet resistance negates the protective …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Symptomatic thromboembolic events are the most
common complications associated with aneurysm coiling, and carotid and intracranial …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Clopidogrel and aspirin are antiplatelet medications used
in patients intended for endovascular stent placement. Although various studies have …

Introduction: The role of the VerifyNow test to guide clopidogrel therapy in neurosurgical
patients is still unclear. This study compared outcomes in patients undergoing …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Clopidogrel resistance is blamed for thromboembolic
complications in neurovascular stent placement. Platelet-function assays are weakly …

As more intracranial aneurysms and other cerebrovascular pathologies are treated with
neurointervention procedure, thromboembolic events that frequently lead to serious …
