Clopidogrel Resistance and Embolism in Carotid Artery Stenting (CRECAS)

April 24, 2017 updated by: Oh Young Bang, Samsung Medical Center

Ticlopidine+Ginkgo Biloba Versus Clopidogrel in Clopidogrel Resistant Patients Undergoing Cartoid Artery Stent Placement

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the ticlopidine + ginko biloba compared to clopidogrel in clopidogrel resistant patients undergoing carotid artery stent placement. The investigators hypothesized that ticlopidine + ginko biloba is superior than clopidogrel in terms of post-stent ischemic lesions in these patients without serious complications.
