Efficacy of Antiplatelet Therapy in Secondary Prevention Following Lacunar Stroke: Pooled Analysis of Randomized Trials [Clinical Sciences]

Conclusions—
Our results suggest that any of the single antiplatelet agents compared with placebo in the included trials is adequate for secondary stroke prevention after lacunar stroke. Dual antiplatelet therapy should not be used for long-term stroke prevention in this stroke subtype.
