For patients presenting with a cerebral episode of vascular origin whose pathogenetic mechanism is due to large vessel disease affecting the carotid arteries, different intervention strategies for secondary prophylaxis are available: medical (single or dual antiplatelet therapy), surgical or endovascular. In this review, these strategies will be described, along with suggestions for appropriate application in clinical practice. These suggestions may vary depending on whether early or long-term secondary prophylaxis is considered.
