 Objective: To clarify the frequency of Japanese patients who are resistant to antiplatelet agents,and then clarify correlations between resistance and thromboembolic adverse events in neurointervention.

 Methods: Blood samples were collected from 163 patients who were taking antiplatelet agents and received neurointervention, with 128 samples collected just before neurointervention. Residual platelet function was measured using a point-of-care platelet function test, VerifyNow®, and then the frequency of patients resistant to drugs (low-responders), correlations between resistance and thromboembolic events, and effects of adding cilostazol to clopidogrel administration were analyzed. Cut-off values were defined as 550 Aspirin Reaction Units (ARU), 230 P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU), and 50%inhibition of P2Y12, respectively.

 Results: Three of 105 patients (2.9%) taking aspirin at 100 mg/day were low-responders, whereas 48 (41.0%, as measured by PRU) or 80 (68.4%, as measured by %inhibition) of 117 patients taking clopidogrel at 75 mg/day were low-responders. Among the 19 patients taking cilostazol 200 mg/day in addition to clopidogrel 75 mg/day, platelet functions were significantly more strongly inhibited compared to patients taking clopidogrel alone (p=0.02 by PRU, p=0.005 by %inhibition). Thromboembolic adverse events occurred in 7 patients. Among these 7 patients, 6 who were taking aspirin were all responders to aspirin, while 4 of the 6 patients taking clopidogrel were low-responders to clopidogrel. In 69 patients who received aneurysmal transarterial embolization, 2 thromboembolic complications occurred among low-responders (p=0.09).

 Conclusion: Aspirin resistance is rare in Japanese individuals. With aneurysmal transarterial embolization,thromboembolic events tended to occur among clopidogrel low-responders. Addition of cilostazol may offer one method of overcoming clopidogrel resistance.
