Adding Aspirin to Clopidogrel After TIA and Ischemic Stroke
Neurol 64:1117-1121, Hankey,G.J. &Eikelboom,J.W., 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The combination of aspirin and clopidogrel is more effective than aspirin in patients with acute coronary syndrome but is more hazardous than clopidogrel alone in patients with recent TIA and ischemic stroke. Further trials are needed to determine whether the combination of aspirin and clopidogrel may have a role immediately after TIA and ischemic stroke in patients with symptomatic large artery atherothromboembolism and continued for approximately 3 months before switching to less hazardous antiplatelet regimens.
