Rescue Use of Tirofiban for Acute Carotid In-Stent Thrombosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carotid artery stenting is widely performed for extracranial carotid artery stenosis. In-stent thrombosis is a rare but potentially devastating complication. We present a case of acute in-stent thrombosis immediately following stent insertion and post-balloon dilatation in a 64-year-old male. Thrombosis was successfully treated by intravenous tirofiban, a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor.

Rescue Treatment with Intra-arterial Tirofiban Infusion and Emergent Carotid Stenting
Rapid arterial rethrombosis is associated with high-grade residual stenosis and usually occurs at the site of the initial occlusion, resulting in reocclusion of the recanalized artery. Platelets may play an active role in such rethrombosis after thrombolytic-induced clot lysis. Given that glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockers, like tirofiban, prevent thrombus formation by inhibiting the final...
متن کاملAdjuvant Tirofiban Injection Through Deployed Solitaire Stent As a Rescue Technique After failed Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Stroke
PURPOSE We present our experiences of intra-arterial tirofiban injection through a deployed Solitaire stent as a rescue therapy after failed mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data on 18 patients treated with adjunctive tirofiban injection through a temporarily deployed Solitaire stent after failed mechanical thrombectomy were retrospectively...
متن کاملPrimary stent retrieval for acute intracranial large artery occlusion due to atherosclerotic disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The goal of stent retriever-based thrombectomy is removal of embolic clots in patients with intracranial large artery occlusion. However, outcomes of stent retrieval may differ between acute arterial occlusions due to intracranial atherosclerotic disease (IAD) and those due to embolism. This case series describes the outcomes of stent retriever-based thrombectomy and resc...
متن کاملMitigation of device-associated thrombosis and thromboembolism using combinations of heparin and tirofiban.
Combined anti-platelet-anticoagulant therapy is increasingly being used to reduce the risk of device-induced thrombosis and thromboembolism. However, direct quantitative confirmation of the effectiveness of this combination approach is lacking. This study was undertaken to quantify the effects of various combinations of heparin (anticoagulant) and tirofiban (antiplatelet agent) on device-induce...
متن کاملAbciximab rescue in acute carotid stent thrombosis.
Occlusion of an internal carotid artery stent was identified immediately post placement in a patient who had restenosis after prior angioplasty. An IV dose of abciximab was administered, and serial angiograms were performed. This resulted in partial resolution of the thrombus at 10 minutes and complete resolution at 20 minutes.
