In Japan, DAPT is often combined with argatroban, a direct thrombin inhibitor, for treating acute atherosclerotic stroke. However, the safety and effectiveness of this combination compared with those of DAPT alone remains unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified patients with acute atherothrombotic stroke treated with DAPT between April 2016 and March 2022, using the Diagnostic Procedure Combination database, a large national inpatient database in Japan. Patients were divided into two groups: those receiving DAPT plus argatroban and those receiving DAPT alone. We compared 7-day mortality, hemorrhagic complications, and readmission for stroke recurrence within 90\u2009days between the groups using propensity-score overlap weighting analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 59,983 eligible patients, 47,213 received DAPT plus argatroban, while 12,770 received DAPT alone.
