Cilostazol may prevent cardioembolic stroke in patients undergoing antiplatelet therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Cilostazol may prevent cardioembolic stroke in patients undergoing antiplatelet therapy. This could be a novel strategy for cardioembolic stroke prevention potentially by affecting cardiac remodelling, in contrast to secondary anticoagulant therapy.

The effect of cilostazol and aspirin pre-treatment against subsequent transient focal cerebral ischemia in rat.
We examined whether 7 days of oral administration of cilostazol protects against subsequent cerebral ischemia, and whether or not the effect of combination therapy with aspirin is more protective. METHODS: We used Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and assigned them to four groups: vehicle, aspirin, cilostazol, and aspirin plus cilostazol combination therapy. After oral administration of anti-platelets for 7 days, we performed transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 90 minutes, and examined infarct volume, neurological symptoms, and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). Immunostaining of Bax, Bcl-2, TUNEL, 4-HNE, 8-...
