Abstract:
This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of key advances on various aspects of hyper-acute management of acute ischaemic stroke. These include neuroimaging, acute stroke unit care, management of blood pressure, reperfusion therapy including intravenous thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy and decompressive hemicraniectomy for malignant stroke syndrome. The challenge ahead is to ensure these evidence-based treatments are now being delivered and implemented to maximise the benefits across the population.
