First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether giving the drug tirofiban during stent or flow diverter procedures for unruptured brain aneurysms could reduce the number of small brain injuries seen on MRI after surgery. 192 adults aged 18-80 took part. The goal was to see if tirofiban works better than standard blood-thinning therapy at preventing clots and strokes.
