Decompressive hemicraniectomy for malignant middle cerebral artery infarction including patients with additional involvement of the anterior and/or posterior cerebral artery territory —outcome analysis and definition of prognostic factors
ConclusionsIntensified postoperative management including possible secondary decompression with necrosectomy may further reduce case fatality rate of patients with large hemispheric infarction. Age above 60  years and severely reduced level of consciousness are the most significant factors heralding unfavorable recovery.
