Treatment For Brain Stroke from Hi9 by Dr Sudhir Kumar | Neurologist Apollo hospitals

A stroke happens when blood flow to any part of the brain stops. The only FDA approved treatment for ischemic strokes is tissue plasminogen activator (tPA, also known as IV rtPA, given through an IV in the arm). tPA works by dissolving the clot and improving blood flow to the part of the brain being deprived of blood flow.
