摘要
Background Flow diverters (FDs) are neuroendovascular stents indicated for the management of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Due to their composition, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is essential during the peri- and post-operative periods to prevent thromboembolic events. However, there is limited consensus within the scientific community regarding which antiplatelets to use and dosing following neuroendovascular treatment of aneurysms. Method A systematic search of four electronic databases was conducted during November 2020 that included studies published between January 2010 and November 2020. Eligibility for inclusion included primary research articles, published in the English language and use of flow-diverting intracranial stents. Studies were excluded if they utilised combined therapies (e.g. FD with stent-assisted coiling), animal studies, clinical trial protocols and study population of less than 10 subjects. Results Eighteen studies were identified for inclusion with a total of 1312 patients with 1355 unruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with FDs. Of these, 13 studies primarily investigated the use of clopidogrel with aspirin with low rates of haemorrhagic and thromboembolic complications. A forest plot of nine of these studies showed average efficacy of 88% at 95% confidence interval (CI) (SD + 5%) with 63% heterogeneity. Conclusions The large proportion of studies investigating clopidogrel and aspirin antiplatelet therapy presents a challenge in comparing antiplatelet regimens. Although prasugrel and ticagrelor have been identified as suitable alternatives to clopidogrel, these were based on studies with small cohort sizes. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors may be efficacious as rescue therapy for intra-procedural thrombosis. Further research is required to determine which antiplatelet is most suitable.
