Aspects of the use of antithrombotic therapy in vascular neurology: A review

Abstract

The development of acute cerebrovascular events is one of the main causes of mortality and disability. Currently, in developed countries, due to the development of new technologies and improvement of medical care and prevention, there is a tendency to decrease the mortality and morbidity of cerebral venous thrombosis. Timely and adequate use of antithrombotic therapy in patients in this category for primary and secondary prevention of acute cerebrovascular events is an extremely important aspect of management and reliably reduces the risks of recurrent cerebrovascular accidents, increases survival and contributes to a more favorable prognosis for the recovery of impaired functions and quality of life in the long term.
