Acute Reperfusion Therapy and Stroke Care in Asia After Successful Endovascular Trials Understanding and Applying the Endovascular Trials
The current status of and prospects for acute stroke care in Asia in the situation where both intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular therapies have been recognized as established strategies for acute stroke are reviewed. Of 15 million people annually having stroke worldwide, 9 million are Asians. The burdens of both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes are severe in Asia.
