Intracranial arterial stenosis and recurrence in stroke patients with different risk stratifications by Essen stroke risk score
CONCLUSION: ICAS was an independent predictor of both 3- and 12-month stroke recurrence in low-risk but not high-risk patients with minor ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack according to ESRS stratification.PMID:37724803 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2023.2257415

Clinical Updates on Antiplatelet Therapy for Secondary Prevention in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Acta Neurol Taiwan. 2023 Sep 30;32(3):138-144.ABSTRACTAntiplatelet therapy is the first-line management for noncardioembolic transient ischemic attack (TIA) and acute ischemic stroke (IS). Herein, we review the safety and efficacy of antiplatelet therapies in patients with IS and TIA, primarily focusing on the acute stage. We discuss current antiplatelet monotherapy and the factors influencing efficacy and continuation rate according to clinical trial data. Aspirin remains the most commonly used first-line antiplatelet agent for preventing noncardioembolic stroke recurrence, and clopidogrel, cilostazol, and ticagrelor are ...

Ticagrelor plus aspirin in patients with minor ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack: a network meta-analysis
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and clopidogrel was recommended as the secondary prevention of minor ischemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). However, genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C19...

Ticagrelor versus clopidogrel after intracranial stent angioplasty: a real-world study
ConclusionIn our study involving patients with acute ischemic stroke who had undergone intracranial stenting, aspirin-ticagrelor was not found to be superior to aspirin-clopidogrel in reducing the rate of ischemic vascular events. The risk of bleeding did not differ between the two groups. Aspirin-ticagrelor does not lower total restenosis and symptomatic restenosis risk at follow-up.

Use of Tirofiban to Prevent Ischemic Events in Patients with CYP2C19 Loss-of-Function Alleles during Flow Diversion of Intracranial Aneurysm: A Multicenter Cohort Study
This study supports CYP2C19 genotyping before flow diversion because LOF alleles increase the risk of ischemic events. Prophylactic use of tirofiban may help reduce ischemic events in LOF allele carriers.

Association between post-stroke smoking and stroke recurrence in first-ever ischemic stroke survivors: based on a 10-year prospective cohort
ConclusionsSmoking could elevate the risk of IS recurrence, and IS survivor should be advised to quit or smoke less. Add-on effect of clopidogrel may not exist in smoking strokers taking clopidogrel.
