Patients with contraindications to anticoagulants were randomized to aspirin or placebo. Anticoagulation was significantly more effective than aspirin HR 0. Incidences of major bleeding events was low: 2. In multivariate models, six independent predictors of major vascular events were identified: history of previous thromboembolism, ischemic heart disease, enlarged cardiothoracic ratio on chest roentgenogram, systolic blood pressure greater than mm Hg at study entry, atrial fibrillation for more than 1 year, and presence of an ischemic lesion on CT scan.
Anticoagulation is effective in reducing the risk of recurrent vascular events in NRAF patients with recurrent TIA or minor ischemic stroke. In absolute terms: 90 vascular events, mainly strokes, are prevented if 1, patients are treated with anticoagulation for 1 year. Aspirin is a safe, though less effective, alternative when anticoagulation is contraindicated.
