  • Title: Surgical treatment strategies in ischemic stroke.
    Author: Rabb CH.
    Journal: Neuroimaging Clin N Am; 1999 Aug; 9(3):527-38. PubMed ID: 10433643.
    Abstract:
    Although the most dramatic recent advances in the treatment of stroke have been medical in nature, there still remains a role for surgery in selected patients with cerebrovascular ischemic disorders. Direct revascularization procedures, including carotid endarterectomy and extracranial-intracranial bypass, remain important tools for the vascular neurosurgeon. Lastly, decompressive hemicraniectomy is being increasingly performed in patients with massive nondominant infarcts, as a means of salvaging individuals who otherwise would succumb to herniation. This article addresses the current indications, techniques, and results of the aforementioned techniques for the surgical treatment of ischemic stroke.
