Is Clopidogrel Premedication Useful to Reduce Thromboembolic Events During Coil Embolization for Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms?

Abstract

Clopidogrel premedication seems to have a beneficial effect in reducing the number of procedure-related thromboembolisms during coil embolization for unruptured intracranial aneurysms, especially in female patients. Smoking and hyperlipidemia were independent risk factors related to thromboembolism.
