Acute Ischemic Stroke Management: A Systematic Review

Abstract

With the increasing improvement of living standards, stroke also has a very high incidence rate in the world, in which ischemic stroke accounts for 60%-80% [1]. But many people, even medical students, know very little about stroke treatment. Therefore, I intend to write a review of the treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS), which will give the reading public a systematic understanding of the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, reduce the public’s fear of stroke, and make patients and their families trust doctors. This article focuses on the treatment options for mild ischemic stroke and heavy ischemic stroke. The treatment options for mild ischemic stroke are thrombolytic therapy or short-term dual antiplatelet therapy [2]; the treatment options for heavy ischemic stroke are bridging therapy or direct endovascular intervention.
