Advances in Ischemic Stroke Treatment: Current and Future Therapies

The paper provides an up‑to‑date overview of modern ischemic stroke management, summarising advances in reperfusion therapy, imaging‑based patient selection, and workflow optimisation. It reviews current evidence for intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy, including expanded treatment windows enabled by advanced neuroimaging. The authors also discuss emerging approaches such as adjunctive pharmacological therapies, neuroprotection, and technology‑supported care pathways aimed at improving functional outcomes. Overall, the review outlines the evolving therapeutic landscape and highlights future directions for more effective, personalised stroke care.
