Cangrelor for neurointerventional procedures : A systematic review

Thromboembolism is a complication of neurointerventional procedures that requires patients to be placed under antiplatelet therapy. Current options for antiplatelet therapies have a delayed onset of action that prevents a rapid door to puncture transition for patents presenting in acute settings. Cangrelor (Kengreal, Chiesi, USA) is an intravenous P2Y12 platelet inhibitor approved in percutaneous coronary interventions that has an immediate onset of action and half-life between 2 and 6 min. Thus, the goal of this study is to report on the safety, effectiveness, and indications for using Cangrelor in neurointerventional procedures. A systematic review of studies describing the use of Cangrelor in neurointervention was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The search was conducted on PubMed, Ovid Medline, and Embase databases through June 2023. Seventeen studies with 314 patients met inclusion criteria. The most common indication for Cangrelor use was acute ischemic strokes: 70% followed by aneurysms 27.4%. The Infusion protocol varied from 5 to 30 μg/kg bolus and 1 to 4 µg/kg/min infusion with 30 μg/kg bolus and 4 µg/kg/min infusion being reported in 64.7% of studies. Intra-operative platelet reacting unit levels were below 200 in all the studies that reported it, and the percentage of hemorrhagic, thromboembolic, and deaths occurrence in this patient cohort was respectively 11.1%, 4.8%, and 8.6%. Cangrelor appears to be a promising P2Y12 platelet inhibitor for neurointerventional procedures. However, large, randomized trials are needed to determine the full range of its effects in neurointerventional procedures.
