Recent advances in the management of acute ischemic stroke

Philip Chang et al. F1000Res. .

Abstract

In recent years, several landmark trials have transformed acute ischemic stroke care. The most dramatic results from the field of acute endovascular intervention demonstrate unequivocal benefit for a select group of patients with moderate to severe deficits presenting within 7 hours from onset and with occlusions of proximal arteries in the anterior circulation. In addition, technological advances and workflow efficiencies have facilitated more rapid delivery of acute stroke interventions. This review provides an overview of recent advances in the management of acute ischemic stroke.

Keywords: Endovascular Therapy; Ischemic Stroke; Malignant Stroke; Mobile Stroke Unit; TeleStroke; ischemia; stroke.
