Abstract

Progressive ischaemic stroke is a clinical form of unfavourable progression of an acute cerebrovascular accident, found in around 20% of cases during the acute period. The strategy and approach to managing patients with an apparent deterioration during the acute period of stroke have not been fully established. Various types of antithrombotic therapy are discussed in the literature, with the use of antiplatelet drugs considered the most promising.

The authors analyse all types of antithrombotic therapy for progressive ischaemic stroke and examine in detail the only known case of late thrombolysis, which was performed in 1968.
