- Abstract
Patients with acute ischemic stroke and large artery occlusive disease (LAOD) have an increased risk for early neurologic deterioration (END) due to progressive stroke, early recurrent ischemic stroke(ERIS), or symptomatic intracranial cerebral hemorrhage(SICH). Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH)has been widely advocated to prevent venous thromboembolism,but its risks and benefits in early ischemic stroke are inadequately defined.
