Unfortunately, little is known about the best therapies for hyperacute stroke prevention after TIA. A recent trial referred to by the acronym MATCH (for Management of Atherothrombosis With Clopidogrel in High-risk Patients With Recent Transient Ischemic Attack or Ischemic Stroke) provides hypothesis-generating data to suggest that double antiplatelet therapy in the short term may be appropriate. Here, the authors discuss treatment considera¬tions, outlining the current knowledge and stressing the need for formal randomized trials to definitively establish the effectiveness of preventive therapies after minor stroke or TIA.
