- Completion of preoperative antiplatelet preparation
- Signed informed consent
Who cannot take part
- Antiplatelet drug (exclude aspirin and clopidogrel) being taken within 72 hours; anticoagulant drug (including heparin or oral anticoagulants) being taken within 10 days
- Participants with recurrent aneurysms who have received neurointerventional treatment
- Allergy to study drugs and anesthetics
- 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)
- Known history of cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, or gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months
- Clear indications for anticoagulation (presumed cardiac source of embolus, e.g., atrial fibrillation, prosthetic cardiac valves known or suspected endocarditis)
- Severe heart failure (NYHA classes III and IV) or severe arrhythmias, including sick sinus syndrome, severe atrioventricular block, and bradycardia-related syncope
- Abnormal platelet count (normal reference is 100-300×10\^9/L)
- Severe renal (creatinine exceeding 1.5 times of the upper limit of normal range) or hepatic (ALT or AST > twice the upper limit of normal range) insufficiency

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
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.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Tirofiban groupTreatment being tested
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.
Treatment: Tirofiban and aspirin, clopidogrel
- Standard medical carePlacebo, for comparison
Routine dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin 100 mg/day, clopidogrel 75 mg/day)
Treatment: aspirin, clopidogrel
