Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The landscape of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) management has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years, largely due to the advent of advanced neurointerventional techniques and the refinement of pharmacological treatments. Despite significant progress in the acute phase, challenges persist in maximizing patient outcomes, expanding treatment eligibility, and improving recovery for those affected by this devastating condition. As a result, current research efforts are increasingly focused on innovative techniques and therapeutic strategies aimed at both the acute treatment and long-term recovery of AIS patients. The next frontier lies in the integration of novel endovascular techniques, molecular therapies, and personalized medicine approaches. Expanding the treatment window for thrombectomy, refining neuroprotective drugs, advancing stem cell therapies, and harnessing the power of AI and predictive models represent exciting opportunities for the future of stroke care. As these research efforts progress, they hold the potential not only to improve the acute management of ischemic stroke but also to reshape the landscape of recovery, offering hope for more effective treatments and better outcomes for stroke patients globally.
Therefore, in this Special Issue, the authors are invited to submit papers related to “Acute Ischemic Stroke Management Strategies” exploring new perspective of therapy in acute ischemic stroke.
