Significant heterogeneity in dual antiplatelet therapy regimens following Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) placement and associated costs, exists at major academic neurovascular centers. The most commonly used first line dual antiplatelet regimen consists of aspirin and clopidogrel. Two major alternate protocols involving ticagrelor and prasugrel, are administered to clopidogrel hypo-responders. The optimal dual antiplatelet regimen for patients with cerebrovascular conditions has not been established, given limited prospective data within the neurointerventional literature ¹⁾.
