Abstract

Antiplatelet preparation lowered the periprocedural thromboembolic complication rate in unruptured aneurysms treated by the multiple microcatheter technique and did not increase the risk of hemorrhage. Therefore, antiplatelet preparation can help to reduce complications in patients in whom technical difficulties are expected without the risk of hemorrhage.
