The registry criteria, word for word

Show all 16 criteriaShow less

Who can take part

  • Ages 18-80
  • Participants with unruptured cerebral aneurysms eligible for stent-assisted coiling or flow diversion devices
  • 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
  • Contradictory to MRI examination
  • Inability to follow endovascular procedures due to anatomical difficulties
  • Pregnant

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
