Abstract
Although approximately 500,000 patients suffer from a stroke each year in the United States, treatment of these patients to date has consisted primarily of prevention, supportive measures, and rehabilitation. The modification of experimental cerebral infarction by new pharmacologic agents, along with encouraging results from the restoration of blood flow to areas of focal ischemia in both laboratory and clinical trials, suggests that a more aggressive approach might be considered in selected patients with acute stroke.Keywords
