Abstract

The increasing prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases has made urgent the need to develop timely and effective treatment strategies to tackle this health problem. Stroke units (SUs) appear to be the ideal setting where the management of acute stroke patients, including specific treatments as thrombolysis, may be optimized. Which model of SU gives the best results is still an unsettled issue. The more intensive and timely multidisciplinary approach to the acute phase of stroke, the management of medical complications, and the earlier and more focused rehabilitation, are likely the most qualifying aspects of our Neurovascular treatment unit.
