Abstract
Background: Treatment of patients with acute stroke requires hospitalization. Cooperation of neurologists, neuroradiologists, intensive care physicians, internists, and cardiologists is required to achieve best possible outcome.
Objective: A summary of the current recommendations for stroke treatment is provided.
Methods: This update is based on the S3 guidelines and incorporates additional results of the latest clinical studies; pubmed.gov was used as the database.
Results: Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are essential to differentiate between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. The S3 guideline recommends thrombolysis within 4.5 h after the onset of symptoms, while mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusions may be indicated up to 24 h after stroke onset in certain cases. Therapy should be initiated for an internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis of at least 50%.
Conclusion: Thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, and the treatment of ICA stenosis are the three cornerstones of acute stroke treatment.
