Stroke is the world's second largest cause of death and disability, with a rising prevalence in developing nations. The majority of strokes are caused by ischemic stroke caused by arterial blockage. Rapid reperfusion using intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy, both of which decrease disability but are time-sensitive, is the goal of treatment. As a result, optimizing the advantages of reperfusion treatments requires strengthening the healthcare system to minimize treatment delays. When given within 4.5 hours after the start of a stroke, intravenous thrombolysis decreases disability. Thrombolysis may also help patients who have perfusion imaging of salvageable brain tissue for up to 9 hours or who wake up with stroke symptoms. When done within 6 hours of stroke start or in individuals identified by perfusion imaging up to 24 hours after stroke onset, endovascular thrombectomy improves disability in a large population of patients with major artery blockage.
