Brief Summary: The ARCH is a controlled trial with a sequential design and with a prospective randomized open-label blinded-endpoint PROBE methodology The objective is to compare the efficacy and tolerance net benefit of two antithrombotic strategies in patients with atherothrombosis of the aortic arch and a recent less than 6 months cerebral or peripheral embolic event

Hypothesis

The association of clopidogrel 75 mgd plus aspirin 75 mgd is 25 more effective than an oral anticoagulant target International Normalized Ratio INR 2 to 3 in preventing brain infarction brain hemorrhage myocardial infarction peripheral embolism and vascular death
Detailed Description: Patients with Transient Ischemic attack or brain infarction of unknown cause no ipsilateral internal carotid artery origin stenosis greater than 70 no ipsilateral severe intracranial stenosis of an artery supplying the infarcted area no definite cardiac source of embolism in the preceding 6 months and atherosclerotic plaques

4 mm in the aortic arch or patients with a peripheral event eg renal infarct in the preceding 6 months and plaque 4 mm in the thoracic aorta above the origin of the embolized artery
