Intraarterial abciximab for treatment of thromboembolism during coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms: outcome and fatal hemorrhagic complications

Abstract: Intraarterial abciximab is effective for the treatment of thromboembolic complications that occur during intracranial aneurysm coil insertion. Nevertheless, attention should be paid to prevent potentially fatal complications such as thrombocytopenia and hemorrhage, especially in patients with a ruptured aneurysm.

“…Its plasma half-life is 2 hours, and following discontinuation of an infusion of tirofiban, 0.10 g/kg/min, ex vivo platelet aggregation returns to near baseline in 4 -8 hours in approximately 90% of patients. 14,19 Experience with tirofiban in the neuroendovascular setting has been limited. Chalouhi et al 20 assessed the safety and efficacy of tirofiban in stent-assisted coiling as a prophylactic treatment and as a rescue therapy for thromboembolic events.…”

“…However, several studies reported that abciximab and eptifibatide may induce fatal intracerebral hemorrhage. 7,[14][15][16] Moreover, abciximab binds irreversibly to the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor causing platelet-function suppression for almost 48 hours after interruption of the infusion. 17 Tirofiban acts as a reversible antagonist of fibrinogen by binding to the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor on platelets.…”

“…However other researchers have identified that intra-arterial abciximab could induce fatal hemorrhage (11,16). In addition, operations such as decompressive craniectomy or external ventricular drainage are sometimes necessary after coil embolization, especially in cases of ruptured cerebral aneurysms.…”
