Abstract:
Acute cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) are the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability. Ischemic stroke (IS) is the leading cause of CVA. Brain damage in IS involves a complex cascade of pathophysiological reactions, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and apoptosis. Reperfusion therapy (RT) is one of the most rapidly developing treatments for patients with IS. The use of neuroimaging, such as CT perfusion and MRI, has significantly expanded the indications for RT. One potential avenue for expanding the capabilities of RT is its combined use with neurocytoprotective therapy, which could improve its efficacy and safety. This review focuses on studies evaluating the effectiveness of the combination of neurocytoprotection and TLT in patients with IS.
Keywords: ischemic stroke, reperfusion therapy, thrombolytic therapy, mechanical thromboembolectomy, reperfusion injury, neuroprotection, cytoprotection, neurocytoprotection.
