Abstract
Treatment for acute stroke has proved effective when initiated in the first few hours after symptom onset. Thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke has been approved within 3 hours from symptom onset in patients aged 18-80 years. Results from ongoing studies are awaited for selected patients beyond this time and age limit. Haemostatic treatment for patients with intracerebral or subarachnoidal haemorrhage prevent early re-bleeding and early stroke recurrence after TIA or minor stroke can be prevented effectively by carotid endarterectomy within 2 weeks.
