Overview
Most of ischemic strokes are caused by acute extra- or intracranial thromboembolic lesion causing artery obstruction. It has been demonstrated that recanalization is the most important modifiable predictor of a good clinical outcome. Reperfusion strategies stated below focus on early reopening of the vessel to reestablish antegrade flow within the penumbra.
