Multicenter Comparison of the Safety and Efficacy of Clopidogrel Versus Ticagrelor for Neuroendovascular Stents
ConclusionsUsing DAPT-C or DAPT-T regimens in a broad population of neuroendovascular stenting procedures appears to have similar safety and efficacy profiles. Further prospective evaluation is warranted to streamline the practice of DAPT selection and monitoring to determine the impact on clinical outcomes.

An elderly case with late carotid stent thrombosis: possible role of antiphospholipid antibodies
The case study speculates that the antiphospholipid antibodies acquired during the follow-up period of carotid artery stenting may cause late stent thrombosis that is resistant to direct oral anticoagulants. A 73-year-old man was hospitalized with complaints of weakness in the right lower extremity. The patient had undergone carotid artery stenting for symptomatic stenosis of the left internal carotid artery 6 years prior and had received antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel 75  mg/day. As the patient had developed atrial fibrillation without stent stenosis at the age of 70 years, anticoagulation therapy with rivaroxaban...

Antiplatelets and Anticoagulants in Ischemic Stroke,Transient Ischaemic Attack: A Practice Survey Among Singapore Neurologists
CONCLUSIONS: The widespread use of aspirin for long-term secondary prevention is similar to other countries. The variation in the use of antithrombotic agents in other settings may reflect the lack of sufficient evidence to guide therapy in the various specific stroke patient management scenarios.KEY WORDS: neurologist, practice, antiplatelet, anticoagulant, stroke, cerebrovascular disease.PMID:35470408
