Core Tip	Aggressive and combination treatments in the acute phase after transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke have been shown to be beneficial in few studies, but results of ongoing randomized trials are required. On the other side, in long-term prevention the most important innovation is the advent of new anticoagulant agents for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. Recent trials showed efficacy and safety of thrombin and factor Xa inhibitors, compared to vitamin K antagonists, whose use is hampered by several limitations. These new drugs will potentially increase the number of patients treated according to guidelines, thus preventing a remarkable proportion of strokes.
