3 Background Increasing number of endovascular devices for treatment of cerebral aneurysms are designed to be deployed within the parent artery’s lumen Marked increase in use of potent antiplatelet agents by neurointerventionalists to prevent device thrombosis

4 Background On-going controversy among neurointerventionalists regarding whether or not to perform antiplatelet testing Field is split between: “Non-testers” “Testers”

5 Background Growing body of neurointerventional literature indicates:
High degree of variability in response to the standard 75mg daily clopidogrel dose may play important role in the thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications encountered after endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms with flow diverters and stents Increasing use of highly potent P2Y12 receptor antagonists such as prasugrel & ticagrelor may be associated with an increased risk of bleeding in the post-operative period

6 Background VerifyNow is an assay that measures the degree of platelet reactivity after stimulation of the P2Y12 receptor with ADP Results reported in P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) High PRU: high degree of residual platelet reactivity & increased risk of thrombosis Low PRU: low degree of residual platelet reactivity & increased risk of bleeding

10 Background “Our data strongly suggest a correlation of insufficient clopidogrel-related platelet inhibition with an increased risk of thromboembolic events in supra-aortic stent placement” “Anti-platelet resistance can be used to predict new ischemic lesions after CAS. Anti-platelet resistance should be evaluated in all patients prior to CAS to prevent ischemic complications related to CAS” “In our series, clopidogrel resistance was associated with increased periprocedural thromboembolic complications from neurovascular stent-placement procedures. Targeting the clopidogrel dose to platelet inhibition assays may improve clinical outcomes and requires further study” “Hyper-response to clopidogrel is associated with increased risk of hemorrhagic complications. Larger studies are urgently needed to validate a clinically useful threshold to define clopidogrel hyper-response and to examine the clinical effects of antiplatelet dosage adjustment” “In our cohort, a pre-procedure PRU value of <60 or >240 was the strongest independent predictor of all and major perioperativethromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications after PED procedures” “PRU ≤198 may be associated with a lower incidence of ischemic neurological sequelae and death post-CAS. Prospective studies are needed to validate the relationship between antiplatelet assays and outcomes post-CAS” “In our cohort, a last-recorded P2Y12 reaction units value of <60 or >240 was the only independent predictor of all and major thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications up to 6 months after Pipeline Embolization Device procedures”

11 Background “Adjunctive cilostazol (triple antiplatelet therapy) in clopidogrel-resistant patients reduces the rate of clopidogrel resistance and suppresses new ischemic lesions without hemorrhagic complications, as compared with standard DAT. Antiplatelet management based on the evaluation of antiplatelet resistance would be required for prevention of perioperative thromboembolic complications in CAS” “We found wide and dynamic variability in response to clopidogrel therapy in patients undergoing endovascular treatment of unruptured cerebral aneurysms, which was significantly associated with thromboembolic and major hemorrhagic complications in our cohort” “There was a trend for an increased risk of a symptomatic thromboembolic event in patients with pre-procedural PRU values >208. Reloading (clopidogrel 600 mg) patients with preoperative PRU >208 was safe and may have a protective effect on thromboembolic events” “Multiple diffusion-positive lesions (≥6 in number) occurred more frequently in patients with clopidogrel resistance after endovascular coiling for unruptured aneurysms” “Optimal threshold, measured using the VerifyNow P2Y12 assay, can be identified using specific thresholds (26% < percent inhibition < 74%) to define patients at lower risk for ischemic and bleeding events. The threshold for hyper-response can highly predict bleeding events in perioperative period”

12 Background ADAPT-DES study has identified an “optimal” therapeutic range of PRU in 8,000 patients undergoing coronary interventions Our group has proposed an “acceptable” PRU range of PRU in patients undergoing endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms with flow diverters & stents
