CONy 2024 | Treatment approaches in mild stroke cases

Robert Mikulik, PhD, St Anne’s Hospital, Brno, Czech Republic, discusses the treatment approach for patients with a mild stroke, highlighting the balance between risk and benefit when using thrombolysis. He explains that while thrombolysis can lead to serious complications like bleeding, its use in mild stroke cases is still common. Dr Mikulik emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between mild stroke patients with and without arterial occlusion, recommending thrombolysis for those with occlusion and antiplatelet therapy for those without. This interview took place at the 18th Annual Congress on Controversies in Neurology (CONy 2024) in London, UK.
