Background and Objective. Approximately 50% of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who achieve complete recanalization after endovascular therapy (EVT) experience unfavorable outcomes that are potentially partially attributed to incomplete microvascular reperfusion, which can possibly be improved by antiplatelet treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of periprocedural tirofiban on AIS patients who achieved complete recanalization with EVT. Methods. Anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion stroke patients who achieved complete recanalization after EVT were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were dichotomized into tirofiban and nontirofiban groups and compared. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance baseline confounders. 3-month functional independence (modified Rankin scale: 0-2), any intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), symptomatic ICH (sICH), arterial reocclusion, in-hospital mortality, and 3-month mortality were evaluated. Results. This study included 303 patients with 118 and 185 in the nontirofiban and tirofiban groups, respectively. After PSM, 85 couples with balanced baseline characteristics were generated. 49 (57.6%) and 36 patients (42.4%) in the tirofiban and nontirofiban groups achieved functional independence at 3 months with a significant difference (risk ratio: 1.361, 95% confidence interval: 1.001-1.852, P=0.046). However, there was no significant difference between the tirofiban and nontirofiban groups in terms of the other outcomes (all P>0.05). Conclusions. In anterior circulation, large-vessel occlusion AIS patients who achieved complete recanalization with EVT, periprocedural tirofiban may improve the functional outcomes and does not appear to increase the rate of ICH and sICH.
