RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is standard care for intracranial stenting to prevent thrombotic complications. Clopidogrel resistance has resulted in patients receiving newer P2Y12 inhibitors like Prasugrel, which may reduce thrombotic complications but could increase haemorrhagic complications. This study, utilising platelet reactivity testing, compared thrombotic and haemorrhagic complications associated with Clopidogrel or 20 mg Prasugrel loading in patients treated with flow diverters (FD) for intracranial aneurysms. METHODS: We retrospectively analysed prospectively collected data from 225 consecutive FD procedures. All patients received aspirin. 147 cases received Clopidogrel and 82 received Prasugrel. All patients had VerifyNow testing before the procedure. RESULTS: P2Y12 non-responders were significantly more likely to have thrombotic complications than responders and hyper-responders (7% vs. 2%, p = 0.01). Low-dose Prasugrel resulted in a significantly lower rate of non-responders when compared with Clopidogrel (7% vs. 25%, p < 0.01). We found no statistically significant difference in rates of haemorrhage between the Clopidogrel and Prasugrel groups (2.4% vs. 3.9%, p = 0.47). There were 12 complications (≤7 days) in the Clopidogrel group versus 6 in the Prasugrel group (9% vs. 7.8%, respectively, p = 0.91) and a non-significant reduction in thrombotic complications in the Prasugrel group (5.2% vs. 3.9%, p = 0.88). No significant difference was shown in long-term complications between the groups (p = 0.33). CONCLUSION: These results support the use of platelet reactivity testing and the safety of low-dose Prasugrel for FD treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

RESUMO

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are frequently associated with concurrent aneurysms. These aneurysms are commonly haemodynamically related to the AVM and can be classified into extranidal or intranidal in reference to the AVM nidus. An aneurysm arising from an artery that does not angiographically contribute to the blood flow to the AVM is uncommon. A distal middle cerebral artery (dMCA) aneurysm itself is also a rare presentation, especially in paediatric population. We present a rare case of dMCA aneurysm that was noted after successful surgical management of a ruptured AVM in an 8-year-old child and its management. BACKGROUND: About 10-30% of patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) have an associated artery aneurysm. The majority of these aneurysms are flow-related to the malformation. These aneurysms can be classified into extranidal or intranidal in reference to the AVM nidus Rammos et al Am J Neuroradiol 37:1966-1971, [1]. An aneurysm arising from a different artery that does not angiographically contribute to the blood flow associated with the AVM is less common and would generally be regarded as unrelated to the AVM. Distal cerebral artery aneurysm itself is also a rare presentation, comprising of 1-7% of all middle cerebral artery aneurysm. In children, mycotic infection and dissection are the two most common causes for aneurysm in this location. Unlike in adults, berry aneurysms are uncommon in children. We describe a young patient who was found to have distal middle cerebral artery (dMCA) aneurysm in follow-up DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiogram) after the initial successful surgical treatment for a cerebral frontal AVM. In this particular case, endovascular repair is thought to be the best strategy to treat the aneurysm. However, there still remains a lack of consensus of the best management strategy (surgery or endovascular) in treating flow-related aneurysms in general. This is usually based on an individual case scenario and the treatment is tailored depending on various factors including the expertise of the treating team.
