Effect of pre-stroke antiplatelet use on stroke outcomes in acute small vessel occlusion stroke with moderate to severe white matter burden

Cerebral small vessel disease is characterized by white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and acute small vessel occlusion (SVO) stroke. We investigated the effect of prior antiplatelet use (APU) on stroke outcome in 1151 patients with acute SVO stroke patients and moderate to severe WMH.
