Early Antiplatelet for Minor Stroke Following Thrombolysis (EAST)

China1,022 participantsStarted 2022-07-08

Plain-language summary

The current guideline recommends to give antithrombotic treatment 24 hours after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke. However, early neurological deterioration will occur in some patients due to no antithrombotic treatment, which is closely associated with poor outcome. The current trial aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of early antithrombotic treatment after intravenous thrombolysis in minor stroke.
