The optimal duration of dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for preventing delayed thromboembolic events (DTEs) remains unclear. We aimed to determine whether longer DAPT provides improved protection against delayed DTEs. This retrospective cohort study included 507 stent-assisted coil embolization pro...
