title: [Modern treatment of acute ischemic stroke].
abstract: Acute ischemic stroke is a frequent cause of death and disability. Therepautic scepticism persists both among doctors and lay people. However, modern reperfusion therapy improved outcomes of acute stroke patients - at least of those presenting early after symptom onset. This review presents multidisciplinary approach to acute stroke - cooperation of neurologists, cardiologists and radiologists. Both reperfusion strategies are discussed: catheter-based thrombectomy and thrombolysis.
