Brief summary

To explore whether administering tirofiban in stent-assisted coiling/flow diverting treatments for participants with unruptured intracranial aneurysms can reduce new ischemic lesions on postoperative DWI sequences compared to conventional dual antiplatelet therapy.

Detailed description

Participants with stent-assisted coiling/flow diverting for unruptured intracranial aneurysms will be enrolled and randomized into two groups: Tirofiban group-after femoral artery puncture, initial infusion of 0.4μg/kg body weight/minute over 30 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion of 0.1μg/kg body weight/minute for 24 hours. Meanwhile, routine dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin 100 mg/day, clopidogrel 75 mg/day) will be administered. Placebo group-100 mg/day aspirin and 75 mg/day clopidogrel. The primary effectiveness endpoint is the numbers and volumes of ischemic lesions on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) within 48 hours after procedure.

Inclusion criteria

1. Ages 18-80. 2. Participants with unruptured cerebral aneurysms eligible for stent-assisted coiling or flow diversion devices. 3. Completion of preoperative antiplatelet preparation. 4. Signed informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

1. Abnormal platelet count (normal reference is 100-300×10\^9/L). 2. Allergy to study drugs and anesthetics. 3. Contradictory to MRI examination. 4. Known history of intracranial tumor, arteriovenous malformation, arteriovenous fistula, venous sinus thrombosis, hereditary cerebral small vessel disease, peripheral hemangioma (e.g., aortic aneurysm, limb vascular aneurysm). 5. Known history of cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, or gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months. 6.
