There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of moderate to severe bleeding complications between the two antiplatelet drug regimens.Trial Registration NumberChiCTR1900025214.

CYP2C19 Loss-of-Function Variants Associated with Long-term Ischemic Stroke Events During Clopidogrel Treatment in the Chinese Population
This study aims to determine whether CYP2C19 loss-of-function (LoF) variants were associated with long-term ischemic stroke risk in Chinese primary care patients treated with clopidogrel. Patients treated with clopidogrel were ascertained from a Chinese Electronic Medical Record linked with biobank for a retrospective cohort study. Their medical information was examined for the period from January 2018 to December 2021. Two CYP2C19 major loss of function variants (*2:rs4244285, *3: rs4986893) were genotyped. The clinical outcome was ischemic stroke event. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between...

Impact of clopidogrel and potent P2Y 12 -inhibitors on mortality and stroke in patients with acute coronary syndrome or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Abstract Administration of a P2Y 12 -receptor antagonist in addition to aspirin is mandatory in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to reduce the occurrence of thrombotic events; however, their impact on mortality and stroke is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the influence of moderate (clopidogrel) or potent (prasugrel/ticagrelor) P2Y 12 -receptor inhibition on major cardiovascular outcomes among patients with ACS or undergoing PCI. Systematic literature search was performed to find randomised, controlled clinical trials comparing the clinical impact o...

New aspects of stroke medicine.
Abstract Systemic thrombolysis with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) remains the only effective and approved medical treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Several studies have demonstrated the importance of rapid recanalization. The efficacy of thrombectomy has so far not been sufficiently shown in randomized clinical trials; therefore, inclusion of suitable patients in one of the currently ongoing randomized trials is of great importance. The early treatment with magnesium after acute ischemic stroke during the pre-hospital phase did not prove to be neuroprotective. Intermittent pneumatic compr...

Dual antiplatelet therapy for TIA reduces subsequent disability: A CHANCE to improve outcomes?
In this study, they explored the outcomes of functional disability, as measured by the modified Rankin Scale, and quality of life, as measured by the EuroQol-5 Dimension. The published CHANCE trial results demonstrated that the combination of clopidogrel and aspirin (for 21 days, followed by clopidogrel alone until 90 days) was superior to aspirin plus placebo for 90 days in preventing recurrent stroke after TIA or minor stroke.2 The current study demonstrates the superiority of dual antiplatelet therapy compared to aspirin in improving the 90-day functional outcome. The analysis suggests that this is mediated via a reduct...

Dual antiplatelet therapy in stroke and ICAS: Subgroup analysis of CHANCE
Conclusions: The results indicated higher rate of recurrent stroke in minor stroke or high-risk TIA patients with ICAS than in those without. However, there was no significant difference in the response to the 2 antiplatelet therapies between patients with and without ICAS in the CHANCE trial. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class II evidence that for patients with acute minor stroke or TIA with and without ICAS identified by MRA, clopidogrel plus aspirin is not significantly different than aspirin alone in preventing recurrent stroke.

The Changes in Mean Platelet Volume after Using of Antiplatelet Drugs in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
CONCLUSION: Every type of antiplatelets included in this study reduced MPV NIHSS, and mRS in acute non-cardioembolic stroke patients. Clopidogrel improved NIHSS the most. PMID: 26591394 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

The changes of secondary prevention practice in Czech post-stroke patients between 2007 and 2012/13
In conclusion, despite substantial improvement in acute management, clinical practice in secondary prevention in post-stroke patients remains far from being optimal.

When a Single Antiplatelet Agent for Stroke Prevention Is Not Enough: Current Evidence and Future Applications of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy.
Abstract OPINION STATEMENT: For secondary stroke prevention, long-term dual antiplatelet therapy is not recommended due to increased bleeding risks. There is no specific evidence for using dual antiplatelet therapy for cervical artery dissection or for adding a second antiplatelet agent after a stroke while taking aspirin monotherapy. For patients with atrial fibrillation and stroke/TIA unable to tolerate warfarin, aspirin monotherapy is reasonable. Dual antiplatelet therapy carries a similar risk of major bleeding as warfarin that offsets reductions in stroke risk. Dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended for end...

Primary Prevention of Stroke in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Scientific Update
Background: Although chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for stroke, official recommendations for the primary prevention of stroke in CKD are generally lacking.Summary: We searched PubMed and ISI Web of Science for randomised controlled trials, observational studies, reviews, meta-analyses and guidelines referring to measures of stroke prevention or to the treatment of stroke-associated risk factors (cardiovascular disease in general and atrial fibrillation (AF), arterial hypertension or carotid artery disease in particular) among the CKD population. The use of oral anticoagulation in AF appears safe...

Prognosis of dolichoectasia in non-cardioembolic transient ischemic attack and minor stroke.
Conclusions Dolichoectasia was significantly associated with SAO. There was no relationship between dolichoectasia and 12-month prognosis of patients with non-cardioembolic TIA or minor stroke. PMID: 29600887 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Temporary oral anticoagulation after MitraClip - a strategy to lower the incidence of post-procedural stroke?
CONCLUSIONS: Temporary oral anticoagulation might be a strategy to reduce the incidence of stroke within the first 30 days after the MitraClip procedure. Bleeding events were not significantly altered due to temporary oral anticoagulation. PMID: 30650019 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clopidogrel use and smoking cessation result in lower coated-platelet levels after stroke.
Authors: Kirkpatrick AC, Vincent AS, Dale GL, Prodan CI Abstract Coated-platelets are a subset of highly procoagulant platelets elevated in patients with non-lacunar ischemic stroke and associated with stroke recurrence. Cross-sectional studies in controls have shown that smoking is associated with higher coated-platelet levels while chronic use of serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), statins or aspirin is associated with lower coated-platelet levels. We now investigate if initiation of treatment with SSRIs, statins, clopidogrel, aspirin or oral anticoagulants and smoking cessation impacts coated-platelet levels ...
