Hello,
In the acute phase after ischemic stroke (first hours) thrombolysis or thrombectomy may be beneficial more than 6 hours passed, conservative treatment and rehabilitation are the best treatment way.
Surgery is not indicated in most of the cases of ischemic stroke.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
