New Data and the Covid-19 Pandemic Mandate a Rethink of Antiplatelet Strategies in Patients With TIA or Minor Stroke Associated With Atherosclerotic Carotid Stenosis
The 2017 European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) carotid  guidelines, as well as a subsequent literature review, recommend clopidogrel monotherapy or combination aspirin + dipyridamole in recently symptomatic patients not undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA).1,2 In patients scheduled for CEA, antiplatelet therapy was recommended throughout the peri- operative period and in the long-term.1 It was advised that early treatment with aspirin + clopidogrel or aspirin + dipyridamole ‘may be considered’ in order to prevent early recurrent events in patients with transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or minor ischaemi...

Forgetting “routine” deep venous thrombosis and stroke during COVID-19 is a parallel pandemic that will be costly if ignored
The current COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a huge strategic and clinical change within the UK National Health Service (NHS) to ensure that it can cope with the surge in demand of respiratory patients. However, when attention is acutely shifted, routine care will suffer and that could be deadly for some and enormously expensive for the NHS in the long term. Fig, A, shows the increasing public interest over time relating to COVID-19 search terms in the Google Trends health category for the United Kingdom (UK) over the last 30  days.
