Key result
Pre-procedural TEG parameters MA ADP and ADP% were significant independent predictors of subsequent ischemic events after stenting (HR 1.036 and 0.965, respectively).

Are pre-procedural thrombelastographic parameters associated with post-stenting ischemic events in patients undergoing extracranial or intracranial artery stenting?
Hazard Ratio: 1.036
p-value: p=0.020
Pre-procedural thrombelastography parameters, specifically higher MA ADP and lower ADP inhibition rate, independently predict ischemic events after extracranial or intracranial stenting.
Wang et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in extracranial or intracranial artery stenosis (n=218). Thrombelastographic parameters (MA ADP and ADP%) was evaluated on ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack in the territory of the stented artery (HR 1.036, p=0.020). Pre-procedural TEG parameters MA ADP and ADP% were significant independent predictors of subsequent ischemic events after stenting (HR 1.036 and 0.965, respectively).
