Summary

This study compares two treatments to prevent another stroke in people who have both atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and hardened brain arteries. About 586 participants will receive either the blood thinner apixaban alone or apixaban plus clopidogrel for 30 days. The goal is to see if the combination reduces new stroke spots on brain scans better than apixaban alone.
