Acute Reperfusion Therapies for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Rajeel Imran et al. J Clin Med. .

Abstract

The field of acute stroke treatment has made tremendous progress in reducing the overall burden of disability. Understanding the pathophysiology of acute ischemic injury, neuroimaging to quantify the extent of penumbra and infarction, and acute stroke reperfusion therapies have together contributed to these advancements. In this review we highlight advancements in reperfusion therapies for acute ischemic stroke.

Keywords: ischemic stroke; thrombectomy; thrombolysis.
