Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the dose selection and efficacy of eptifibatide in the treatment of acute thrombosis after Pipeline implantation.

Methods

The clinical data of patients with acute thrombosis after cerebral aneurysm treated with eptifibatide in the Department of Neurosurgery, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University from June 2018 to June 2019 were collected retrospectively. The therapeutic effect of patients was evaluated by immediate cerebral angiography DSA, perfusion thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) grade, modified Rankin scale (mRs) score and National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score, and the appropriate therapeutic dose of eptifibatide was studied.

Results

Thromboembolism complications were found in 12 patients during the treatment of Pipeline. After the treatment with eptifibatide, 10 patients had TICI grade Ⅲ, mRs and NIHSS score 0, 1 patient TICI Ⅱa, mRs and NIHSS score 1, and the other 1 patient TICI Ⅱb, mRs and NIHSS score 1.

Conclusion

Eptifibatide is an effective and safe rescue strategy for acute intraprocedural thromboembolism during Pipeline implantation. The dose strategy of 0.2 mg/kg intraoperative single injection or postoperative 0.5 μg/(kg·min) maintenance infusion can provide higher recanalization rate, lower incidence of bleeding complications and better prognosis.

Key words: Eptifibatide, Intracranial aneurysm, Pipeline flow device, Thrombosis
