Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the clinical significance of clopidogrel resistance-associated biomarkers (TMAO, C1q, and C4BPα) in patients receiving cerebral artery stents, and to develop an integrated predictive model incorporating these novel biomarkers along with CYP2C19 genotyping data for accurate clopidogrel resistance prediction in Chinese populations. By establishing this multidimensional assessment system, we intend to provide reliable risk stratification for post-stenting ischemic events and in-stent restenosis, ultimately facilitating personalized antiplatelet therapy decisions in cerebrovascular interventions. The proposed model may serve as a valuable clinical tool to optimize treatment strategies and improve outcomes for stented patients at risk of clopidogrel resistance.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Age 18-80 years, with ischemic stroke due to atherosclerotic cerebrovascular stenosis; * Scheduled for cerebral artery stenting with standard dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin 100 mg/day + clopidogrel 75 mg/day) for ≥3 months.
Exclusion criteria
* Cardioembolic stroke (e.g., with atrial fibrillation); * Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS); * Perioperative stroke; * Requiring intravenous thrombolysis (rt-PA, urokinase, alteplase, or tenecteplase); * Mechanical thrombectomy; * Current use of anticoagulants (warfarin, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, etc.); * Severe hepatic or renal dysfunction; * Allergy to clopidogrel or aspirin; * Bleeding tendency (e.g., thrombocytopenia or active gastrointestinal ulcer); * History of recurrent miscarriage or current pregnancy; * Malignancy or life expectancy \<1 year.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Recurrent ischemic stroke | At 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, and 1 year after antiplatelet therapy | Recurrent ischemic stroke is defined as either: 1) acute exacerbation of pre-existing deficits occurring ≥21 days post-initial event onset, or 2) emergence of novel neurological deficits (including transient ischemic attack and acute ischemic stroke). Diagnostic confirmation requires both clinical correlation with symptoms and neuroimaging evidence (MRI) demonstrating new cerebral infarction within the original vascular territory, or acute neurological symptoms (within 24 hours) localizing to the original vascular territory with absence of new cerebral infarction on MRI. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| In-stent restenosis | At 90 days after antiplatelet therapy | Head-neck CTA |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ADP-induced platelet aggregation | At 72 hours and 30 days after antiplatelet therapy | Whole blood platelet aggregation induced by ADP was detected by a whole-blood aggregometer (Chrono-Log model 590-2D, Chromo-Log Corp., Havertown, PA, USA). Changes in electronic resistance (Ω) values between two electrodes were recorded to reflect the rate of whole-blood platelet aggregation. |
