English to Spanish: Clopidogrel with Aspirin in Acute Minor Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English Transient ischemic attack (TIA) and acute minor ischemic stroke are common and often lead to disabling events. In China, there are approximately 3 million new strokes every year, and approximately 30% of them are minor ischemic strokes.1,2 The incidence of TIA in China has not been determined, but on the basis of the incidence in other countries, there are probably more than 2 million TIAs annually in China.3-5 The risk of another stroke occurring after a TIA or minor stroke is high, with approximately 10 to 20% of patients having a stroke within 3 months after the index event; most of these strokes occur within the first 2 days.5-8
The role of antiplatelet therapy for secondary stroke prevention has been well established. How- ever, aspirin is the only antiplatelet agent that has been studied in the acute phase of stroke, during which its benefit is modest.9,10 Aspirin and clopidogrel synergistically inhibit platelet aggregation,11,12 and such dual therapy reduces the risk of recurrent ischemic events in patients with the acute coronary syndrome.13,14 Large-scale trials of secondary prevention of ischemic events after stroke have not shown a benefit of the combination of clopidogrel and aspirin.15-17 However, these trials did not study the early, high-risk period after stroke, they included some patients with strokes of moderate severity, and they included few if any patients with TIA. Three small pilot trials have shown trends toward a benefit of the combination therapy and minimal safety concerns in patients with minor stroke or TIA.18-20
Translation - Spanish Tanto el ataque isquémico transitorio (AIT) como el ictus isquémico menor son trastornos comunes que a menudo acarrean consecuencias incapacitantes. En China, se registran aproximadamente 3 millones de ictus al año y de estos alrededor de un 30 % son ictus isquémicos menores1,2. No se ha determinado la incidencia del AIT en China, pero sobre la base de la incidencia en otros países, probablemente se den unos 2 millones de AIT al año. 3-5 El riesgo de sufrir otro ictus tras un AIT o un ictus menor es alto: entre un 10 % y un 20 % de los pacientes sufre un ictus en los tres meses posteriores al episodio inicial; la mayoría ocurren en las primeras 48 horas. 5-8
La eficacia del tratamiento con antiagregantes plaquetarios a la hora de prevenir los ictus secundarios sólidamente probada. Sin embargo, la aspirina es el único agente antiagregante plaquetario que se ha estudiado durante la fase aguda del ictus, durante la cual ha demostrado beneficios moderados. 9,10 La aspirina y el clopidogrel actúan de manera sinérgica en la inhibición de la agregación plaquetaria, 11,12 este tratamiento dual reduce el riesgo de padecer accidentes isquémicos recurrentes en aquellos pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo. 13,14 Si bien los ensayos clínicos a gran escala no muestran ningún beneficio en la combinación de clopidogrel y aspirina a la hora de prevenir accidentes isquémicos secundarios, 15-17 estos ensayos no analizaron el período temprano de alto riesgo que se da tras el ictus, solo incluyeron a algunos pacientes con ictus de gravedad moderada y a pocos o ningún paciente con AIT. Se realizaron tres pequeños ensayos piloto en los que se muestra la posibilidad de que existan beneficios en el tratamiento combinado y preocupaciones mínimas en cuanto a la seguridad para los pacientes con ictus menores o AIT. 18-20
