Description
For this presentation we will be showcasing the different modalities and techniques that can be used as intervention to remedy intracranial atherosclerosis. As stroke is the third most deadly disease behind heart disease and cancer. On top of the mortality rate there is a very short time span for remedy with the least amount of damage, treatment that is fast and effective is at utmost importance with this disease. In our research we will cover interventions from non-invasive remedies such as the use of medications like tPA, dual antiplatelet therapy, or high intensity statin therapy. Other options for revascularization and what is most common is endovascular therapy which uses microcatheters which are inserted into the blood clot, these treatments are used alongside medication therapies as well. Intracranial angioplasty is common but risky as it can cause further damage. Sometimes bypass surgery may be the only remedy that can be used. We will be reviewing all possible modalities and what may be the best choice for acute intervention.
