NCT05566301

Brief Summary

Spontaneous prospective observational multicentre pharmacological study that aims to evaluate whether, from a statistical point of view, there is a significant difference between the use of Ticagrelor in "non-responders" patients to Clopidogrel undergoing carotid stenting and Clopidogrel in "responders" undergoing carotid stenting, in the onset of death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and bleeding events, 1 and 3 months after the procedure. Furthermore, the study aims to evaluate the possible preoperative clinical and pharmacological factors most associated with the phenomenon of resistance to Clopidogrel. Inclusion criteria: The data will be collected on adult patients (age\> 18 years) who have given their consent to participate in the study, belonging to the U.O. of Vascular Surgery of the IRCCS Policlinico San Donato and the U.O. of Vascular Surgery of the participating centers and there subjected to the treatment of carotid stenosis by stenting technique. Exclusion criteria: Those patients who are minors, who have not given their consent to participate in the study, or who have carotid stenosis not susceptible to intervention by stenting will be excluded from the study. Pregnant or lactating women will also be excluded from the study (such as situations in which carotid stenting is contraindicated regardless of the execution of the study).

Study Arms (2)

Clopidogrel

Patients who undergo carotid stenting and dual antiplatelet therapy with ASA + clopidogrel and whose aggregometry test shows correct response to the effect of clopidogrel

Drug: Clopidogrel

Ticagrelor

Patients who undergo carotid stenting and dual antiplatelet therapy with ASA + clopidogrel and whose aggregometry test shows incorrect response to the effect of clopidogrel, therefore therapy is switched to ASA + ticagrelor

Drug: Ticagrelor

Interventions

All patients will undergo carotid stenting and dual antiplatelet therapy with ASA + clopidogrel

Clopidogrel

All patients will undergo carotid stenting and dual antiplatelet therapy with ASA + clopidogrel

Ticagrelor

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients who undergo carotid stenting for a significant carotid stenosis and who are treated with dual antiplatelet therapy using ASA + clopidogrel

You may qualify if:

  • adult patients (age\> 18 years)
  • patients who have given their consent to participate in the study, belonging to the U.O. of Vascular Surgery of the IRCCS Policlinico San Donato and the U.O. of Vascular Surgery of the participating centers and subjected to the treatment of carotid stenosis by stenting technique.

You may not qualify if:

  • underage patients
  • patients who have not given their consent to participate in the study,
  • patients who have carotid stenosis not susceptible to intervention by stenting
  • pregnant or lactating women (such as situations in which carotid stenting is contraindicated regardless of the execution of the study).
