The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the OsciPulse System in reducing serum d-dimer levels in hospitalized ischemic stroke patients.
After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will be screened for eligibility. Eligible and enrolled patients who have been admitted to the hospital for an ischemic stroke will be randomized in a non-blinded study to receive compression therapy from either standard-of-care intermittent compression garments, or the OsciPulse System. During the duration of the subject's hospital stay serum d-dimer levels will be monitored serially.
