Use of thromboelastography to tailor dual-antiplatelet therapy in patients undergoing treatment of intracranial aneurysms with the Pipeline embolization device
Conclusions Platelet function testing with TEG altered our DAT induction strategy in a significant number of cases. No hemorrhagic or disabling thromboembolic complications were seen in this series. Future studies should compare methods of platelet function testing and, possibly, no platelet function testing in neurovascular patients undergoing flow diversion and/or stent-assisted treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

P-008 Loading Doses of Aspirin and Clopidogrel Prior to Enterprise Stent-assisted Repair of Intracranial Aneurysm-A Single Center Experience
Conclusions Using loading doses of aspirin and clopidogrel in Enterprise stent-assisted repair of intracranial aneurysm is not only safe and feasible but associated with good clinical outcome. Therefore, loading doses of aspirin and clopidogrel is an alternative option for patients who are candidates for stent-assisted repair of intracranial aneurysm. Disclosures Y. Lodi: None. V.
