[Stroke prevention]. Presse Med. 2019 May 28;: Authors: Janot K, Charbonnier G, Boustia F, Lima Maldonado I, Bibi R, Pucheux J, Herbreteau D Abstract Prevention is essential to stroke management because of the high risk of recurrence. Stroke incidence is increased by known risk factors, which can be prevented. Cardiovascular prevention after stroke or TIA also includes aetiology-specific treatment, when it is known. Endovascular treatment is not indicated as a first-line treatment for atheromatous cervical or intracranial stenosis. Endovascular or surgical treatment is not indicated as first-line treatment for cervical arterial dissection because of its minor risk of stroke recurrence.
