Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Argatroban is a selective thrombin inhibitor, and previous study had suggested that argatroban use post PCI could potentially prevent reocclusion. But there has no study on large sample of argatroban treated restenosis post cranial stenting. This study will test the safety and efficacy of the argatroban on prevent occlusion and restenosis in patients with intracranial and extracranial artery stenting.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The risk of restenosis post intracranial and extracranial artery stenting is 20-40%, therefore, in the past, aspirin and clopidogrel were performed as anticoagulant therapy post stenting.But this treatment had limited effectiveness upon restenosis. Argatroban is a selective thrombin inhibitor, and previous study had suggested that argatroban use post PCI could potentially prevent reocclusion. But there has no study on large sample of argatroban treated restenosis post cranial stenting. This study will test the safety and efficacy of the argatroban on prevent occlusion and restenosis in patients with intracranial and extracranial artery stenting.

Study Groups

Argatroban group

Patients who underwent intracranial and extracranial artery stenting were randomly chosen to receive continuous infusions of argatroban for 2 days before and 3 days after stenting, with accompanied aspirin and clopidogrel treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
