Dual antiplatelet therapy was well tolerated and appeared effective in preventing thromboembolic complications in pediatric patients after neurointerventional surgery.
Does dual antiplatelet therapy prevent thromboembolic complications in pediatric patients after neurointerventional surgery?
DAPT appears safe and effective for preventing thromboembolic complications in pediatric neurointerventional procedures, though prospective studies are needed to establish guidelines.
In this case series, DAPT was well tolerated and appeared effective in preventing thromboembolic complications in pediatric patients after neurointerventional surgery. These findings support the use of DAPT in this population, although further prospective studies are needed to establish evidence-based guidelines for optimal dosing, timing, and duration of therapy.
Tumberger et al. (2026) studied this question. Dual antiplatelet therapy was well tolerated and appeared effective in preventing thromboembolic complications in pediatric patients after neurointerventional surgery.
