What is cerebral infarction? A branch of an arterial blood vessel in the brain is blocked for some reason, resulting in the death of the brain tissue supplied by that branch due to ischemia and hypoxia, producing the corresponding manifestation, which is clinically called cerebral infarction. How can cerebral infarction be treated? There are no less than a hundred kinds of drugs for the treatment of cerebral infarction, so you should ask your doctor to decide which drug to use for treatment according to your specific condition. It should be noted that medication is only part of the treatment. Cerebral infarction can be divided into cerebral embolism and cerebral thrombosis according to the etiology, among which intra-arterial thrombolysis of cerebral thrombosis in the acute stage (3-6 hours after the onset of the disease) can improve the patient’s symptoms rapidly by directly applying thrombus-dissolving drugs to the blocked blood vessels via microcatheters. Most patients with cerebral thrombosis have cerebral artery stenosis, and the development of endovascular treatment has provided new methods for the treatment of intracranial and extracranial artery stenosis, and endovascular cerebral angioplasty has emerged. Especially in recent years, the maturation of catheter technology, intraoperative and postoperative monitoring and the emergence of endovascular stent technology have gradually made endovascular treatment a less invasive, safe and effective treatment.
