title: Current and future therapies for ischemic cerebrovascular disease. II. Surgery and new treatments on the horizon.
abstract: Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the adult population. Numerous neuroprotective agents and procedures have been developed and a new wave of therapies is now on the horizon with the potential to minimize ischemic brain damage. On the other hand, surgical treatment has also played an important role in the treatment of stroke. This article highlights recent advances in stroke treatment, including surgical and neurointerventional radiological procedures, as well as potential new therapies. (c) 2001 Prous Science.
