Ischemic strokes occur with a complete or partial occlusion of arteries‚ which causes a region to fall below the level needed to maintain cellular function. As a result‚ cells begin to die‚ and an infarct can develop with necrosis. During an ischemic stroke‚ there is typically an inner zone of infarction‚ with an outer region of ischemia. An infarct can be prevented if the amount of collateral circulation around the ischemic area is adequate. (Chapey‚ 1994). Medical treatment usually targets
