抽象

In patients who have suffered an ischemic stroke or TIA (mini-stroke), as well as in patients who are candidates for neuroendovascular stenting, it is standard of care to treat these patients with antiplatelet therapy, or "blood-thinners", the most common of which is clopidogrel (Plavix) with or without the addition of aspirin. A relatively common problem encountered with these patients is non-responsiveness to clopidogrel therapy. A prior study in cardiac patients showed that the addition of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Lovaza, or "fish oil") can increase a patient's response to therapy with clopidogrel, but there have been no studies in neuro patients. In this study, patients will be divided into one of two groups: in the study arm, patients will receive clopidogrel +/- aspirin as well as Lovaza. In the control arm, patients will only receive clopidogrel +/- aspirin. Assays will be done to measure responsiveness to clopdiogrel on days 0, 12-24 hours after loading dose, day 3-5 if still inpatient, and at a follow-up visit 20-30 days after the start of the study. The investigators believe that this study will show an increase in platelet aggregation in patients receiving both clopidogrel and Lovaza.

干预/治疗
No Intervention: Control arm, clopidogrel without Lovaza
These patients will be receiving standard of care therapy with either standard dose (75mg daily) or high dose (150mg daily) clopidogrel +/- aspirin based on physician discretion.
Experimental: Clopidogrel plus Lovaza
This is the study arm of the trial, in which patients will be receiving either a standard dose (75mg daily) or high dose (150mg daily) clopidogrel with or without aspirin as well as therapy with daily Lovaza.
Dietary Supplement: Clopidogrel plus Lovaza
Lovaza, 1 gram orally daily
