Primary and secondary prevention of stroke is often a challenge in elderly patients due to the increase in both thrombotic and hemorrhagic risks with age. In some cases, there is sufficient data in the elderly population to allow recommendations or anticoagulation decisions to be made, such as for the indication of anticoagulation to prevent stroke related to atrial fibrillation (AF) or the choice of oral anticoagulant therapy in this situation. In other situations, the less robust data leave some questions; this is the case for the delay to initiate an oral anticoagulant therapy after an AF-related ischemic stroke, for the management of antithrombotic treatment after a stroke of undetermined cause or after intracranial bleeding or in a high-risk bleeding situation associated with stroke in the elderly subject. These issues will be discussed in this paper.
