title: [Diagnosis, therapy and prevention of cerebrovascular diseases. 2. Therapy and prevention].
abstract: Elimination of vascular risk factors is of paramount importance in preventing stroke. Once a vascular pathology is present, various surgical and medical measures must be considered in order to lower the risk of cerebrovascular accident. When infarction has occurred, the therapeutic possibilities are limited and aim at reducing the size of a stroke. The authors review current issues in stroke prevention and treatment.
