Lysis of acute ischemic strokes
Leave a reply
Stroke may be due acute rupture or occlusion of a blood vessel supplying an area of the brain. The former is hemorrhagic stroke, the latter nonhemorrhagic stroke. Nonhemorrhagic stroke may be treated by removal of the occluding blood clot by dissolving it (thrombolysis), extracting it (mechanical disruption) or by both.
