Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients with an acute ischemic stroke receiving rt-PA thrombolysis

2. Age ≥ 18 years

3. Written informed consent is obtained

Exclusion criteria: 1. Known APT in the previous 5 days(in case of uncertainty the patient may be included)

2. Known thrombocytopenia (thrombocyte count ≥ 100 * 10E9/l)

3. Known contra-indications to ASA treatment (e.g. previous adverse reaction to ASA)

4. Known anticoagulance usage in the previous 5 days

5. Known legal incompetence of the patient prior to this stroke


Age minimum:
Age maximum:
Gender:
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Ischemic stroke

Intervention(s)
Patients are randomized to receive either 300 mg acetylsalicylic acid iv (Aspégic) within 1,5 hours after the rt-PA bolus or standard care of rt-PA without Aspégic.
Primary Outcome(s)
The primary objective of the ARTIS-Trial is to investigate whether the addition of acute APT to standard rt-PA thrombolysis reduces poor outcome 3 months after an acute ischemic stroke. Poor outcome is defined as death or dependency (mRS 3-6 ).
Secondary Outcome(s)
The secondary objectives are to investigate complications within 48 hours after randomisation like:

- the occurrence of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage and serious systemic bleeding;

- neurological symptoms 7 ? 10 days after randomisation or at discharge if the patient is discharged within 7 days;

- survival at 3 months;

- disability at 3 months;

- functional health at 3 months non-dichotomized (ordinal mRS);

- causes of poor outcome.
