Description
Worldwide, stroke is second only to coronary artery disease as a cause of death and is the leading cause of disability in the United States.
Through multidisciplinary collaborative efforts, evidence-based treatment options, and standards of care currently available, a greater
understanding of stroke has been achieved. The nature of clinical medicine calls for a greater understanding of contemporary medical,
surgical, and endovascular neurology/neurosurgery to better meet the needs of individual stroke patients. This issue of Neurosurgery
Clinics seeks to offer further insight into applied clinical information relative to frequently encountered clinical neurovascular challenges
including timing of carotid endarterectomy post-stroke, current status and appropriateness of carotid endarterectomy or as an alternative
carotid angioplasty with or without stent placement for ischemic stroke prevention, the role of intracranial vessel stenting, the role
and potential indications for decompressive hemicraniectomy and durotomy for massive hemispheric strokes associated with ?malignant?
middle cerebral artery territory infarctions, the potential indications for extracranial/intracranial bypass surgery, recent advances
and future directions for acute care of intracerebral hemorrhage, clinical utility of clipping or coiling of intracranial aneurysms,
and perioperative uses of transcranial perfusion monitoring.
