New hope for stroke patients: which blood thinner works best after emergency treatment?

NCT ID NCT05225961

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested two blood thinners—tirofiban and aspirin—in 240 stroke patients who also had a severe blockage in the neck artery. The goal was to see which drug better prevents the artery from reclosing after emergency surgery, while also checking for bleeding risks. Results will help doctors choose the safest and most effective anti-clotting plan for these complex cases.
