Data from recent clinical trials and meta-analysis covering different epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of cerebrovascular diseases discussed during conference has been presented. Results of new trials in primary and secondary stroke prevention assessing efficacy and safety of: stenting vs endarterectomy of carotid arteries (CREST), dabigatran in prevention of cardioembolic stroke in atrial fibrillation (RE-LY), cilostazole in secondary prevention of atherogenic stroke (CSPSS II) have been discussed.
