Early recurrent ischemic lesions (ERILs) on diffusion-weighted imaging after acute ischemic stroke have been suggested as a potential marker of early recurrent stroke. We hypothesized that biomarkers of inflammation or coagulation may be associated with the pathogenesis of ERILs and sought to investigate whether these biomarkers provide prognostic information on the risk of development of ERILs independently of clinical and imaging variables.
