Abstract
Stroke is a multifactorial vascular disease and remains a leading cause of disability in the United States. Strokes can be ischemic or hemorrhagic in nature and secondary to arterial or venous disease, making determining the etiology and secondary prevention strategy important for preservation of the injured brain, prevention of recurrent strokes, and in the maintenance of good functional outcomes for patients impacted by stroke. In this narrative review, we provide a synopsis of the available medical evidence surround selection, timing, and choice of therapy, including utilization of left atrial appendage closure, in patients with ischemic, hemorrhagic or venous stroke.
