Low dose aspirin after ischemic stroke associated with antiphospholipid syndrome

The authors describe course and outcome of eight patients with ischemic stroke as the first thrombotic manifestation of antiphospholipid syndrome who received low-dose aspirin as prophylactic treatment. During 8.9 years of follow-up, two patients had a recurrent stroke. Recurrent stroke rate per 100 patient-years on aspirin was 3.5 (95% CI 0.4 to 12.5).
