Medical and endovascular treatment options for stroke prevention in patients with symptomatic intracranial stenosis have evolved over the past several decades, but the impact of 2 major multi-center randomized stroke prevention trials on physician practices has not been studied. We sought to determine changes in US physician treatment choices for patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) following 2 NIH-funded clinical trials that studied medical therapies (antithrombotic agents and risk factor control) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS). Anonymous surveys on treatment practices in patients with ICAS were sent to physicians at 3 time points: before publication of the NIH-funded Warfarin-Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease (WASID) Trial (pre-WASID, 2004); 1 year after WASID publication (post-WASID, 2006); and 1 year after the publication of the NIH-funded Stenting and Aggressive Medical Management for Preventing Recurrent stroke in Intracranial Stenosis (SAMMPRIS) Trial (post-SAMMPRIS, 2012). Neurologists were invited to participate in the pre-WASID survey (n=525). Neurologist and Neurointerventionists were invited to participate in the post-WASID (n=598) and post-SAMMPRIS (n= 2080) survey. The 3 surveys were conducted using web-based survey tools delivered by email, and a fax-based response form delivered by email and conventional mail. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Pre-WASID, there was equipoise between warfarin and aspirin for stroke prevention in patients with ICAS. The number of respondents who recommended antiplatelet treatment for ICAS increased across all 3 surveys for both anterior circulation (pre-WASID=44%, post-WASID=85%, post-SAMMPRIS=94%) and posterior circulation (pre-WASID=36%, post-WASID=74%, post-SAMMPRIS=83%). The antiplatelet agent most commonly recommended post-WASID was aspirin, but post-SAMMPRIS it was the combination of aspirin and clopidogrel. The percentage of neurologists who recommended PTAS in > 25% of ICAS patients increased slightly from pre-WASID (8%) to post-WASID (12%), but then decreased again post-SAMMPRIS (6%). The percentage of neurointerventionists who recommended PTAS in > 25% of ICAS patients decreased from post-WASID (49%) to post-SAMMPRIS (17%). The surveyed US physicians’ recommended treatments for ICAS differed over the 3 survey periods, reflecting the results of the 2 NIH-funded clinical trials of ICAS and suggesting that these clinical trials changed practice in the US.
