| Abstract | OBJECT: Intracranial stenting has improved the ability to treat wide-neck aneurysms via endovascular techniques. However, stent placement necessitates the use of antiplatelet agents, and the latter may complicate the treatment of patients with acutely ruptured aneurysms who demonstrate hydrocephalus and require ventriculostomy. Antiplatelet agents in this setting could increase the incidence of ventriculostomy-related hemorrhagic complications, but there are insufficient data in the medical literature to quantify this potential risk. The aim of this study was to directly quantify the risk of ventriculostomy-related hemorrhage in patients with acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage treated with stent-assisted coiling. METHODS: The authors retrospectively identified 131 patients who underwent endovascular treatment for an acutely ruptured aneurysm as well as ventriculostomy or ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement. The rate of hemorrhagic complications associated with ventriculostomy or VP shunt insertion was compared between patients who underwent coiling without a stent (Group 1) and those who underwent stent-assisted coiling and dual antiplatelet therapy (Group 2). RESULTS: One hundred nine ventriculostomies or VP shunt placement procedures were performed in 91 patients in Group 1, and 50 procedures were undertaken in 40 patients in Group 2. The rates of radiographic hemorrhage and symptomatic hemorrhage were significantly higher in Group 2 (32% vs 14.7%, p = 0.02; and 8% vs 0.9%, p = 0.03, respectively). On multivariate analyses, Group 2 had 3.42 times the odds of a radiographic hemorrhage (95% CI 1.46-8.04, p = 0.0048) after adjusting for antiplatelet use prior to admission. CONCLUSIONS: The application of dual antiplatelet therapy in stent-assisted coiling of acutely ruptured aneurysms is associated with an increase in the risk of hemorrhagic complications following ventriculostomy or VP shunt placement, as compared with its use in a coiling procedure without a stent. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
