Abstract 6: Treatment Effect of Clopidogrel Plus Aspirin Within 12 Hours of Acute Minor Stroke or TIA Session Title: Abstract Oral Session: Outcomes
Conclusions: Among patients treated within 12 hours, the combination of clopidogrel and aspirin was more effective than aspirin alone in reducing the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke during the 90-day follow-up and did not increase the hemorrhagic risk. The higher ischemic stroke rate in the initial hours after stroke supports early more aggressive antiplatelet therapy.Clinical Trial Registration-URL: http//www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00979589.

Abstract 372: Health Outcomes Associated With Triple Antiplatelet Therapy for the Secondary Prevention of Atherothrombotic Events Session Title: Poster Session III
Vorapaxar is a protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) antagonist indicated for the reduction of atherothrombotic cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) or with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), based on the findings of the TRA 2°P-TIMI 50 trial for patients without a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack. This analysis evaluated the health outcomes of triple antiplatelet therapy with vorapaxar when added to a standard care regimen of clopidogrel plus aspirin (ASA) in comparison with standard care alone, for patients without a history of transient ischemic attack or ...
