| Abstract |
This study was conducted to see if there was any difference in mortality rates between one dual antiplatelet regimen over another in patients who have undergone thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with tandem carotid artery stenting (CAS). Patients who have recently had carotid artery stenting require dual antiplatelet therapy (dAPT) to prevent recurrent stroke, and to prevent the stent from occluding. This study aims to see if one type of dual antiplatelet therapy affects patient mortality more than the other. At my facility between January 2019, to February of 2023, it was found that 30 patients have had acute ischemic stroke with carotid artery stenting. Within these 30 patients, the type of antiplatelet therapy, their mortality at 3,6 months, the restoration of flow, and if occlusion of the stent within 48 hours was observed. The data suggests that there is a reduced mortality rate with patients that were treated with clopidogrel and aspirin when compared to no, single, and ticagrelor and aspirin therapies. These results lack statistical power due to the limitation of the sample size and the variables surrounding the etiology of stroke and stroke patients. To gain further insight on the efficiency of different dAPT's, larger extended trials with tighter parameters should be performed. |
