Abstract
Anticoagulant and surgical treatment for patients categorized into groups with transient ischemic attack, progressive stroke, and completed infarct are discussed. Patients with transient ischemic attacks (intermittent insufficiency) appear to be benefited by either therapy as measured by long-term prevention of cerebral infarcts. Anticoagulant and surgical therapy in patients with progressive (evolving) strokes has not clearly improved the results statistically. Patients with completed (stable) infarct are not candidates for either type of therapy in so far as the existing deficit is concerned. Data for long-term prophylacxic have not been determined.
