New hope for stroke patients: which blood thinner works best after emergency artery repair?
NCT ID NCT05225961
First seen Feb 19, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study tested two blood thinners—tirofiban and aspirin—in 240 people who had a stroke caused by blockages in both the neck and brain arteries. After emergency surgery to open the arteries, patients received one of the two drugs to prevent the neck artery from reclogging. The goal was to find a safer and more effective anti-clotting approach to improve recovery and reduce bleeding risks.
