title: [Primary and secondary prevention of ischemic cerebrovascular accidents of arteriosclerosis by platelet inhibitors].
abstract: Cohort studies currently available suggest that the most effective platelet inhibitors for the secondary prevention of ischaemic cerebrovascular accidents are acetylsalicylic acid and ticlopidine. Aspirin reduces the risk by 20%. It seems that moderate doses (100-300 mg/day) are sufficient and better tolerated. Ticlopidine would seem to be more effective than aspirin as it reduces the risk by more than 20% with respect to aspirin therapy. Only aspirin has been evaluated in the setting of primary prevention and it seems to be ineffective in preventing cerebral infarction. Nowadays, other anti-platelet molecules are under evaluation, one of which is Clopidogrel.
