TLDR
Imaging of the brain and vessels has shown that collateral flow can sustain brain tissue for hours after the occlusion of major arteries to the brain, and the augmentation or maintenance of collateral flow is therefore a potential therapeutic target.Abstract:
Summary Ischaemic stroke results from acute arterial occlusion leading to focal hypoperfusion. Thrombolysis is the only proven treatment. Advanced neuroimaging techniques allow a detailed assessment of the cerebral circulation in patients with acute stroke, and provide information about the status of collateral vessels and collateral blood flow, which could attenuate the effects of arterial occlusion. Imaging of the brain and vessels has shown that collateral flow can sustain brain tissue for hours after the occlusion of major arteries to the brain, and the augmentation or maintenance of collateral flow is therefore a potential therapeutic target. Several interventions that might augment collateral blood flow are being investigated.read more

MRI based thrombolysis for FLAIR-negative stroke patients within 4.5-6h after symptom onset.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that within 4.5-6h of symptom onset, patients with negative FLAIR images may benefit from thrombolysis therapy.

TL;DR: The extent of collateral circulation at the leptomeningeal convexity may be useful for predicting the functional recovery while the relationship between postoperative infarct volume and clinical outcome still requires for further study.

Bone marrow stromal cells promote neuroplasticity of cerebral ischemic rats via a phosphorylated CRMP2-mediated mechanism.
TL;DR: BMSCs treatment significantly improved the neurobehavioral performance impaired by ischemic brain injury, accompanied with the notably increasing levels of Synaptophysin (SYP) and Growth associated protein 43 (GAP43).

Thresholds in cerebral ischemia - the ischemic penumbra.
TL;DR: Recent evidence indicates that immediate failure of basic functions such as synaptic transmission, ion pumping and energy metabolism in the ischemic brain, is critically dependent on residual blood flow, and that these functions fail at certain critical flow thresholds.
