Ishemic stroke is a frequent cause of disability and mortality. Standard therapy of patients admitted within 4.5 hours from the start of symptoms is systemic thrombolysis if there are no contraindications to it. And intervening therapy is a new treatment technique in case of occlusion of the major brain arteries. The clinical case is described: 71 year old patient with brain infarction in the middle cerebral artery circulation was admitted to hospital in time, but he had contraindications to systemic thrombolytic therapy, and he was treated with intervening therapy demonstrating good restoration of the functions.
