Management of Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome, A Systematic Review
JAMA 295:1050-1057, Lim,W.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In patients with APS, moderate-intensity warfarin is effective for preventing recurrent venous thrombosis and perhaps also arterial thrombosis. Aspirin appears to be as effective as moderate-intensity warfarin for preventing recurrent stroke in patients with prior stroke and a single positive test result for antiphospholipid antibody. The optimal treatment of other thrombotic aspects of APS needs to be addressed in well-designated prospective studies.
