Purpose of review: Ischemic stroke describes a condition in which inadequate blood flow leads to lack of oxygenation to the brain tissue and ensuing neuronal death. There are multiple causes of ischemic stroke, each of which may indicate different antithrombotic management strategies. The goal of this review is to provide information about antithrombotic therapies for secondary stroke prevention based on etiology of stroke. Recent findings: New studies of existing antiplatelet and antithrombotic therapies have demonstrated varied efficacies of treatments based on the underlying risk factor of ischemic stroke. Summary: Understanding the optimal therapies for secondary stroke prevention can enhance care of stroke patients and lower the incidence of recurrent cerebrovascular ischemia.
