WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPIC Thromboembolic complications after neuroendovascular treatment for cerebral aneurysms are higher in patients undergoing stent-assisted coiling (SAC) or flow diversion (FD) than in those undergoing simple coiling. Periprocedural dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is mandatory to prevent these complications; however, the optimal regimen of antiplatelet therapy for SAC/FD remains unknown.

Optimal duration of DAPT Procedure-unrelated major and minor bleeding events were observed continuously during the DAPT period for at least 1 year after the procedure (online supplemental figure 2). Shortening the DAPT duration was considered necessary to reduce bleeding events, but there was concern about an increase in thromboembolic events associated with early switching to monotherapy.
