Study summary

What the protocol is testing.

This is a randomized, open label, multi-center, positive-controlled study, in which a total of 236 patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned to receive bivalirudin or heparin in a 1:1 ratio during coil embolization in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Procedure-related complication, mRS, Activated Clotting Time, ischemic and hemorrhagic complications, symptomatic and asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, death, Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia will be evaluated during procedure, at 24hs, 7days and 30 days after.

Full detailed description

Endovascular embolization has become an effective modality for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Despite advances in technology and techniques, thromboembolic and bleeding events are still encountered as inherent perioperative complications. Hypercoagulability as a systemic response to acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may be associated with an increased incidence of thromboembolic events. The administration of anticoagulant may reduce thromboembolic events during the endovascular embolization, meanwhile, involves the risk of bleeding. Although heparin is commonly used during the procedure, the safety in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms has not been established. In contrast to heparin, bivalirudin is a short-lived direct thrombin inhibitor with an intrinsic antiplatelet activity and more stable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties which has been associated with reduced bleeding and an overall favorable profile. Bivalirudin administration in patients with high bleeding risk during coronary intervention is recommended by current guidelines. This is an open label, multicenter, randomized pilot study, which is aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of bivalirudin coil embolization in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Interventions

Outcomes

What the study measures.

Primary outcomes

Procedure-related complication

Time frame · 30 days

A composite of of death from any cause, thromboembolic events, or bleeding defined by BARC definition 3 or 5 BARC=Bleeding Academic Research Consortium

Secondary outcomes

Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

Time frame · 30 days

The mRS score, and proportion of subjects achieving mRS score of 0-2

Activated Clotting Time (ACT)

Time frame · During procedure

ACT values of 0 min and 5 min after bolus injection will be recorded in all patients Extra ACT values of 15 min, 30 min, 55min, 65 min,and 115 min after bolus injection will be recorded in 8 patients of both arm, and the curve will be simulated

Procedure-related complication

Time frame · During procedure, at 24hs, 7days

A composite of of death from any cause, thromboembolic events, or bleeding defined by BARC definition 3 or 5 BARC=Bleeding Academic Research Consortium

Thromboembolic events

Time frame · During procedure, at 24hs, 7days, 30days

Definition: 1. Intraoperative: stent thrombosis/stenosis, distal vascular occlusion on imaging 2. Postoperative: 1) new deficits or change in level of consciousness, intracranial hemorrhage cause is excluded by CT, 2) no clinical symptom but CT showed new infarction
