Prevention
In many cases the disorder is not preventable. The most important way to reduce risk is to stop smoking.
Preventive use of anticoagulants may be recommended for people with a high risk of developing emboli such as those with mitral stenosis, atrial fibrillation, or coagulation disorders. Control of atherosclerotic disease may reduce risk.
