Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) results from cerebral vessel occlusion, producing parenchymal damage, with lesions being categorized into the ischemic core, dead or dying tissue, and the penumbra, being salvageable tissue. Early reperfusion therapy aims to reduce penumbra expansion and infarct size. Reperfusion therapies currently consist of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and mechanical thrombectomy, which, for the sake of brevity, will not be covered in this chapter.

Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) results from cerebral vessel occlusion, producing parenchymal damage, with lesions being categorized into the ischemic core, dead or dying tissue, and the penumbra, being salvageable tissue. Early reperfusion therapy aims to reduce penumbra expansion and infarct size. Reperfusion therapies currently consist of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and mechanical thrombectomy, which, for the sake of brevity, will not be covered in this chapter.File in questo prodotto:
