Understanding the risks associated with ischemic stroke in elderly patients with symptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis is crucial for effective prevention. This includes identifying key risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation, and implementing strategies like medication management, lifestyle modifications, and potentially surgical intervention to reduce the likelihood of stroke and improve patient outcomes.

Medical therapy for acute stroke is crucial for minimizing brain damage and improving patient outcomes. It typically involves time-sensitive interventions such as intravenous thrombolysis (tPA) or mechanical thrombectomy to restore blood flow to the affected brain region. Effective acute stroke management also encompasses early diagnosis, supportive care, and the prevention of secondary complications to ensure the best possible recovery.
