Modern Management of Cerebrovascular Disease: Integrating Advances in Imaging, Intervention, and Medical Therapy

Tomppa Pakarinen

Cerebrovascular disease management has undergone remarkable
transformation over the past decade, driven by advances in
diagnostic imaging, expanding interventional capabilities, and
evolving medical therapies. The traditional paradigm of carotid
endarterectomy as the principal intervention for stroke
prevention has given way to a more nuanced approach
incorporating multiple treatment modalities tailored to specific
pathophysiologic mechanisms and patient characteristics. This
commentary examines key developments across the spectrum of
cerebrovascular disease management and their implications for
clinical practice.
