Abstract
We herein report the case of a pediatric patient suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a ruptured internal carotid artery (ICA) saccular aneurysm. Considering the unfavorable anatomy and irregular shape of the aneurysm, a flow diverter (FD) stent was positioned in addition to coils in an acute setting. Cangrelor (Kengreal, Chiesi, USA) IV bolus followed by maintenance IV infusion was administered in addition to ASA at the time of intervention. Transitioning from cangrelor to thienopyridine (clopidogrel) was done the day after the procedure without any ischemic or hemorrhagic complications. The patient was discharged symptom-free 24 days later. We discuss technical considerations focusing specifically on antiplatelet therapy management.
