Conditions

Acute branch Atheromatous Disease(BAD)

Interventions

Trial Group:Tirofiban hydrochloride sodium chloride injection: bolus dose of 0.4 ug/kg/min for 30 min, followed by maintenance infusion at 0.1 ug/kg/min for 48 hours
dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin 100 mg/d and clopidogrel 75 mg/d (loading dose of 300 mg) initiated immediately after randomization
overlap with dual antiplatelet therapy started 4-6 hours before tirofiban discontinuation, lasting 21 days, then switched to single oral antiplatelet therapy.
Control Group:Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT): aspirin 100 mg/d plus clopidogrel 75 mg/d (loading dose of 300 mg), for 21 days, followed by single oral antiplatelet therapy (aspirin or clopidogrel).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. High-risk factors for cardioembolism: atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, acute myocardial infarction, severe valvular heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, infective endocarditis; 2. Received or planned to receive endovascular therapy/thrombolysis after onset; 3.
