Background Endovascular treatment (EVT) is the modality of treatment in select patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion secondary to atherosclerosis (LVO-A). About 30 % of patients don't achieve successful following endovascular treatment. The adjunctive use of selective glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists, such as Tirofiban, has been shown to improve reperfusion rates following EVT. However, their use in LVO-A is relatively limited.

Objective

We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirofiban in patients with LVO-A.

Design/Methods

A database search was conducted until July 2024, to identify published studies that compare the use of Tirofiban in LVO-A to a control group. Prophylactic use refers to preventing secondary occlusion. Rescue refers to the use in a patient with unsuccessful reperfusion. The main outcomes assessed included 90-day reocclusion, 90-day mortality, and 90-day favorable modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score (0-2).

Results

From a total of 1,438 studies, 2 randomized controlled trials and 10 cohorts were included, encompassing a population of 3,179 patients. We found that prophylactic administration of tirofiban significantly reduced the risk of mortality (Risk ratio [RR]=0.65, 95%CI: 0.44-0.95, p=0.03). Both prophylactic and rescue tirofiban administration reduced 90-day mortality (RR=0.74, 95%CI: 0.63-0.87, p=0.002). Rescue Tirofiban was associated with a higher rate of favorable 90-day mRS (RR=2.52, 95%CI: 1.07-5.92, p=0.03) and lower risk of reocclusion (RR=0.58, 95%CI:0.34-0.97, p=0.04) at 90 days.

Conclusions Our findings suggest that tirofiban is an effective and safe treatment for improving clinical outcomes in patients with LVO-A. Large multicentric clinical trials are necessary to evaluate the patients that can benefit from the adjunct use of Tirofiban.
