Overview
A stroke occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted (ischemic) or a blood vessel bursts (hemorrhagic), causing brain cell death.
Procedure
Ischemic strokes are treated with clot-busting drugs (tPA) or mechanical thrombectomy. Hemorrhagic strokes require surgical clipping or coiling.
✅ Benefits
Salvage of brain tissue, restoration of blood flow, and maximized neurological recovery through intensive rehabilitation.
⚠️ Risks
Bleeding complications from tPA, vessel rupture during thrombectomy, or recurrent stroke.
🔄 Recovery
Acute phase: 3-7 days ICU/ward stay. Rehabilitation: Months to years of physical and speech therapy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the golden hour for stroke?
The first 4.5 hours are critical for administering clot-busting medication (tPA). Mechanical thrombectomy can be done up to 24 hours in select cases.
Can brain damage from stroke be reversed?
Dead brain cells cannot be revived, but neuroplasticity allows healthy brain areas to take over lost functions through intensive rehabilitation.
