Ischemic Stroke – Blockage of a blood Ischemic Stroke – Blockage of a blood vessel resulting in death of brain tissuevessel resulting in death of brain tissue

Study Overview
In this large clinical trial, aspirin plus In this large clinical trial, aspirin plus extended-release dipyridamole was extended-release dipyridamole was found to have an efficacy similar to that found to have an efficacy similar to that of clopidogrel in the prevention of of clopidogrel in the prevention of recurrent strokerecurrent stroke
However, aspirin plus extended-release However, aspirin plus extended-release dipyridamole resulted in more bleeding, dipyridamole resulted in more bleeding, including intracranial bleedingincluding intracranial bleeding
