Stroke is the 3rd reason of death in developed countries. Improving the results of treatment will give the improvement in the social life of people, and also reduce the costs to society. The goal of good results is early revascularization, education of the society, the treatment of these patients in specialized professional stroke centers. Recently there are a lot of new technologies devices which give us the opportunity for early revascularization.
