Abstract
No drug has yet been shown to be useful in management of patients with acute ischemic stroke. One of the frustrating aspects in management of stroke is the spontaneous worsening that occurs after hospitalization in 20%–40% of patients [1, 2]. No clinical or laboratory feature predicts which persons will deteriorate and therefore all patients with acute stroke (onset < 24 h) should be considered at risk. A therapy that effectively halts stroke progression will have a favorable impact on outcome.
