Abstract: In this chapter the use of thrombolysis and the more recent application of thrombectomy in acute ischaemic stroke are covered. Organized stroke unit care has a major impact on both reducing mortality and improving outcome, and the chapter describes the evidence for this. It also covers other components of supportive acute stroke care, including the importance of instituting measures to avoid complications and to prevent early recurrent stroke.
