Safety and feasibility of dual antiplatelet therapy termination guided by angioscopic findings 6 months after flow diverter placement
Angioscopy reliably confirmed neointimal coverage 6 months after FD placement, suggesting the potential for safe DAPT discontinuation. The findings underscore the superiority of angioscopy over cone-beam CT in identifying thin neointima. Further studies involving larger cohorts and applying advanced imaging technologies are required to optimize post-FD antiplatelet therapy.
