Perforating artery territorial infarction (PAI) refers to a single ischemic lesion in a single perforating arterial territory and branch atheromatous disease (BAD) is an important type. BAD related stroke accounts for 10%-15% ischemic cerebral infarction and is closely related to early neurological deterioration (END). Among patients with single ischemic lesion in other study, dual antiplatelet (clopidogrel plus aspirin) did not significantly reduce the risk of recurrent stroke. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of tirofiban combined with aspirin versus placebo combined with aspirin in reducing the risk of stroke and END in patients with BAD.
