Abstract
Generalization of the fi rst results of treatment of victims of coronavirus infection showed that the development of ischemic stroke in such patients is very likely. An analysis of the few available publications that mention the problem of COVID-associated ischemic stroke has shown that cerebral ischemia can be associated with infl ammation of large arteries and coagulopathy. Anticoagulation with low-molecular-weight heparins should be considered the most eff ective way to prevent a particular pathogenetic subtype of ischemic stroke.
