Use of intravenous cangrelor in the treatment of ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms: an updated single-center analysis and pooled analysis of current studies.
Intracranial stent placement for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms is increasingly utilized in both ruptured and unruptured scenarios. Intravenous (IV) cangrelor is a relatively new antiplatelet agent that was initially approved for coronary interventions. In addition to our institution, five other centers have published their results using IV cangrelor in neurointerventional procedures. This article combines the aneurysm treatment data from all prior studies to provide insight into the safety and efficacy of cangrelor for intracranial aneurysm treatment.. A prospectively maintained database was reviewed to identify all cases of IV cangrelor administration during aneurysm embolization. 20 additional patients were identified who had not been previously published. In addition, a literature search was performed to identify prior publications regarding cangrelor in neurointervention. The data from these were combined with our institutional results in a pooled-analysis.. Overall, 85 patients who received IV cangrelor during aneurysm embolization were identified, including 46 ruptured and 39 unruptured cases. The asymptomatic and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage rates were 4% (2/46) for ruptured cases and 2.6% (1/39) for unruptured cases. The rate of retroperitoneal hematoma and gastrointestinal bleeding was 0%. There were no incidents of intraprocedural thromboembolic complication or intraprocedural in-stent thrombosis in either cohort. One subject suffered an ischemic stroke at 24 hours secondary to in-stent thrombosis in a ruptured case.. IV cangrelor during aneurysm embolization appears to be safe, with a symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage rate of 4% in ruptured cases and 2.6% in unruptured cases. More research is needed to determine the ideal dosing regimen.

Low dose intravenous cangrelor versus glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors in endovascular treatment of tandem lesions.
Intravenous (IV) periprocedural antiplatelet therapy (APT) for patients undergoing acute carotid stenting during mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is not fully investigated. We aimed to compare the safety profile of IV low dose cangrelor versus IV glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP-IIb/IIIa) inhibitors in patients with acute tandem lesions (TLs).. We retrospectively identified all cases of periprocedural administration of IV cangrelor or GP-IIb/IIIa inhibitors during acute TLs intervention from a multicenter collaboration. Patients were divided in two groups according to the IV APT regimen at the time of MT procedure: 1) cangrelor and 2) GP-IIb/IIIa inhibitors (tirofiban and eptifibatide). Safety outcomes included rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), parenchymal hematoma type 1 and 2 (PH1-PH2), and hemorrhagic infarction type 1 and 2 (HI1-HI2).. Sixty-three patients received IV APT during MT, 30 were in the cangrelor group, and 33 were in the GP-IIb/IIIa inhibitors group. There were no significant differences in the rates of sICH (3.3% vs. 12.1%, aOR=0.21, 95%CI 0.02-2.18, p=0.229), HI1-HI2 (21.4% vs 42.4%, aOR=0.21, 95%CI 0.02-2.18, p=0.229), and PH1-PH2 (17.9% vs. 12.1%, aOR=1.63, 95%CI 0.29-9.83, p=0.577) between both treatment groups. However, there was a trend toward reduced hemorrhage rates with cangrelor. Cangrelor was associated with increased odds of complete reperfusion (aOR=5.86; 95%CI 1.57-26.62;p=0.013).. In this retrospective non-randomized cohort study, our findings suggest that low dose cangrelor has similar safety and increased rate of complete reperfusion compared to IV GP-IIb/IIIa inhibitors. Further prospective studies are warranted to confirm this association.
