Abstract

Background: A dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel is advised to prevent stent thrombosis. However, the most appropriate assay for evaluating the antiplatelet effects remains undefined.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of measuring platelet surface activation markers, CD62P and CD63, using flow cytometry to determine the effectiveness of dual antiplatelet therapy.

Methods: Thirty patients who received aspirin plus clopidogrel before cerebral artery stent implantation and thirty unrelated healthy controls were enrolled. The expression of CD62P and CD63 was measured using flow cytometry. The diagnostic performances were evaluated and compared with the conventional light-transmitted aggregometry (LTA) using 5.0 and 20.0 µM of adenosine di-phosphate (ADP).

Results: The expression ratios of both markers were significantly lower in the patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy than controls (p < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of CD62P using flow cytometry and the LTA using 5.0 and 20.0 µM of ADP were comparable (0.97 vs. 0.95 and 0.97 vs. 0.96, respectively), whereas those of CD63 was lower than the LTA (0.88 vs. 0.96). The sensitivity of CD62P and CD63 were 71.4% and 60.0%, and the specificity of CD62P and CD63 were 100.0% and 96.7%, respectively.

Conclusion: Flow cytometry measurements of CD62P could be utilized to identify the efficacy of dual antiplatelet therapy. Additional studies are suggested to support this issue and its effects on clinical outcomes.
