Abstract

The neurosurgical approach to the management of ischemic stroke has evolved dramatically over the past century with the bulk of these changes occurring over the past 25 years. With recent advances in technology and continued refinements in neurosurgical techniques there has been significant improvement to the safety and efficacy of our treatment options. The focus of this article will be to review the historical and recent reports in the literature related to revascularization techniques.
