Stroke treatment depends on the type of stroke a patient has – ischemic or hemorrhagic. Treatment for ischemic strokes involves quickly restoring blood flow to the brain. This can be accomplished with emergency intravenous therapy (IV) therapy, emergency endovascular procedures such as medications delivered directly to the brain, and removing the clot with a stent retriever, a carotid endarterectomy, or an angioplasty and stents. Treatment for hemorrhagic strokes can involve emergency measures, surgery, surgical clipping, Coiling (endovascular embolization), surgical arteriovenous malformation (AVM) removal, or stereotactic radiosurgery.
