Recent trials within the past few years have influenced not only how we treat patients immediately after acute ischaemic stroke, but also how we investigate for aetiology. With the advent of improved medications, procedures and monitoring devices, modern stroke prevention strategies are more individualised, but the decision‐making process is more complex. We provide an approach to navigating these management options.
