Prophylactic administration of tirofiban for preventing thromboembolic events in flow diversion treatment of intracranial aneurysms

Abstract

The current study suggested that prophylactic administration of tirofiban combined with conventional oral DAT seems safe and efficient for preventing TEs during FD treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Balloon angioplasty and prolonged procedure are associated with a high risk of TEs.
