Management of Atherosclerotic Risk Factors in Patients With Vertebral Artery Disease
2011 ASA/ACCF/AHA/AANN/AANS/ACR/ASNR/CNS/SAIP/SCAI/SIR/SNIS/SVM/SVS Guideline on the Management of Patients With Extracranial Carotid and Vertebral Artery Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[1]
Management of Atherosclerotic Risk Factors in Patients with Vertebral Artery Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[1]
Class I |
"1. Medical therapy and lifestyle modification to reduce atherosclerotic risk are recommended in patients with vertebral atherosclerosis according to the standards recommended for those with extracranial carotid atherosclerosis[2][3]. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"2. In the absence of contraindications, patients with atherosclerosis involving the vertebral arteries should receive antiplatelet therapy with aspirin (75 to 325 mg daily) to prevent MI and other ischemic events[4][5]. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"3. Antiplatelet drug therapy is recommended as part of the initial management for patients who sustain ischemic stroke or TIA associated with extracranial vertebral atherosclerosis. Aspirin (81 to 325 mg daily), the combination of aspirin plus extended-release dipyridamole (25 and 200 mg twice daily, respectively), and clopidogrel (75 mg daily) are acceptable options. Selection of an antiplatelet regimen should be individualized on the basis of patient risk factor profiles, cost, tolerance, and other clinical characteristics, as well as guidance from regulatory agencies[6][4][7][8][9][10]. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
Class IIa |
"1. For patients with atherosclerosis of the extracranial vertebral arteries in whom aspirin is contraindicated by factors other than active bleeding, including those with allergy to aspirin, either clopidogrel (75 mg daily) or ticlopidine (250 mg twice daily) is a reasonable alternative. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
