What kinds of treatment are available for cerebral ischemia?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Intervention : The most common cause of cerebral ischemia is atherosclerosis, a condition in which your arteries become clogged and hardened as a result of abnormal fatty deposits. Treatment requires intervention to open the obstruction. This can be surgical, by percutaneous angioplasty, or use of thrombolytics.
