Cerebral thromboembolism prevention in patient at high risk of gastric ulcer

Cerebral thromboembolism prevention in a patient at high risk of gastric ulcer refers to the prophylactic management of individuals requiring antiplatelet therapy for vascular protection who simultaneously face an elevated vulnerability to mucosal injury and gastrointestinal bleeding

Cerebral thromboembolism prevention in a patient at high risk of gastric ulcer refers to the prophylactic management of individuals requiring antiplatelet therapy for vascular protection who simultaneously face an elevated vulnerability to mucosal injury and gastrointestinal bleeding In this population, vulnerable cerebral vasculature is threatened by arterial thrombosis or cardiogenic emboli that can occlude intracranial vessels, precipitating ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attacks This ...
