Article Synopsis
- Recanalization and neuroprotection are crucial in treating acute ischemic stroke, with free radicals playing a major role in damaging neuron membranes and causing cell death.
- Edaravone is a new drug that acts as a free radical scavenger, helping to protect neurons from damage by reducing endothelial injury and improving blood flow during ischemia.
- Clinical data suggests edaravone has a broad therapeutic window, and combining it with thrombolytic therapy could decrease brain edema and enhance recovery in stroke patients.
