While evidence from recent studies has not shown a distinct benefit of anticoagulation following acute stroke, the designs of these studies may not have distinguished important differences in stroke types adequately. Before judging anticoagulation, we will review the pathogenesis of atherothrombotic stroke and consider the historical role of anticoagulation in its treatment by analyzing early and recent treatment trials
