Abstract
Large atheromatous aortic plaques (AAPs) have been associated with ischemic stroke.
There is little evidence to guide the therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke associated
with large AAPs. This study sought to analyze the temporal profile of AAPs after rosuvastatin
therapy in Japanese patients with acute ischemic stroke.
