Highlights

  • Recent reports suggest that thromboembolic complications are associated with Pipeline embolization device (PED) placement cluster in P2Y12 hyporesponders

  • In this retrospective cohort study of 52 Plavix hyporesponders with P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU)>200 undergoing PED placement, 48 procedures (92%) were completed successfully without complications and there was a low rate of thromboembolic complications (4%)

  • The cases included here represent a cross-section of anterior circulation PED procedures from this institution and are not limited to proximal internal carotid artery aneurysms, which are known to have a lower complication rate The cases presented include patients with technically challenging anterior cerebral artery (ACA) aneurysms, patients with adjunctive coiling, and giant aneurysms, including, for instance, a 70-year-old woman who underwent uncomplicated PED placement with adjunctive coiling of a 26 mm ophthalmic aneurysm with a preprocedural P2Y12 of 252
