TY - JOUR T1 - Novel use of prasugrel for intracranial stent thrombosis JF - Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery JO - J NeuroIntervent Surg SP - 358 LP - 360 DO - 10.1136/jnis.2010.004382 VL - 3 IS - 4 AU - Thabele M Leslie-Mazwi AU - Ronil V Chandra AU - Daniel C Oh AU - Raul G Nogueira Y1 - 2011/12/01 UR - http://jnis.bmj.com/content/3/4/358.abstract N2 - Dual antiplatelet therapy is established for prevention of stent thrombosis in cardiac patients, and widely utilized in neurointerventional stent cases. Aspirin and clopidogrel are typically synergistic. We present a case of clopidogrel resistance due to genetic polymorphism resulting in acute stent thrombosis during elective stent-assisted coiling, with novel use of prasugrel as an alternative platelet inhibitor in the neurovascular setting.
