Abstract
- The first edition of Korean Clinical Practice Guidelines for Stroke, which was published in 2009, reflected evidence published prior to June 2007. Since then, many clinical trials and well-designed observational studies provided new evidence that may be pertinent to clinical practice. Accordingly, investigators of the Clinical Research Center for Stroke have timely updated the guidelines. This article summarizes the recent evidence and updated guidelines regarding the use of aspirin for primary stroke prevention, the management of asymptomatic carotid stenosis, the use of antithrombotics in atrial fibrillation for stroke prevention, the diagnosis and management of unruptured aneurysm, intravenous and intra-arterial thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke, antiplatelet therapy for secondary stroke prevention in patients with non-cardioembolic stroke or transient ischemic attack, and the management of symptomatic carotid stenosis for secondary stroke prevention.
