Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a leading public health problem and the most common acute neurological disease. Advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of stroke, in particular the importance of early restoration of adequate perfusion, have resulted in improvements in the management of patients with acute ischemic stroke. The interval from onset of stroke until the administration of interventions to restore blood flow is a crucial factor in success of treatment. Still, patients with stroke now are being treated successfully with neurological outcomes improving. These advances are reducing the likelihood of death or disability from this potentially devastating neurological disease.
