====== Dual antiplatelet therapy complications ======


Dual [[antiplatelet therapy]] is associated with high early risks of major and [[gastrointestinal bleeding]] that decline after the first month in trial cohorts

It is known that [[stent-assisted coiling]] (SAC) for ruptured [[wide-neck intracranial aneurysm]]s has a good efficacy; however, there is an increased risk of perioperative hemorrhagic complications due to the
need for [[dual antiplatelet therapy]] (DAPT).
