Brief summary

Comparison of duration of dual antiplatelet therapy after stent-assisted coiling of unruptured intracranial aneurysms

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications between 1 and 18 months after stent-assisted coiling according to the duration of use of dual antiplatelet agents (6 months versus 12 months) after stent-assisted coiling of unruptured intracranial aneurysms to determine the optimal duration of use of dual antiplatelet agents.

Interventions

1. short-term dual antiplatelet: dual antiplatelet agents for 6 months 2. long-term dual antiplatelet: dual antiplatelet agents for 12 months

DRUGClopidogrel 75mg

1. short-term dual antiplatelet: dual antiplatelet agents for 6 months 2. long-term dual antiplatelet: dual antiplatelet agents for 12 months

Inclusion criteria

* subjects over 19 years old * subjects with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤ 2 * subjects with unruptured intracranial aneurysms * subjects with appropriated aspirin and clopidogrel reaction units after dual antiplatelet preparation (100 mg of aspirin and 75 mg of clopidogrel) for at least 5 days before procedure \[measured using VerifyNow\] 1. aspirin reaction unit (ARU) \< 550 2.
