Abstract

Cerebral infarction (CI) is caused by intracranial artery occlusion. The main treatment approach is recanalisation, which is performed either medically, by intravenous thrombolysis within 4 hours and a half of the event, or by mechanical thrombectomy, which is possible up to 24 hours after CI.

Keywords: accident vasculaire cérébral; intravenous thrombolysis; ischaemic penumbra; mechanical thrombectomy; pénombre ischémique; stroke; thrombectomie mécanique; thrombolyse intraveineuse.
