What is the importance of having a comprehensive stroke center?
Comprehensive stroke centers are important for providing a comprehensive approach to treating stroke-related conditions such as arterial vasospasm, intracranial aneurysms, brain arteriovenous malformations, and ischemic stroke. These centers must have vascular neurosurgical expertise, dedicated intensive care units, and 24/7 access to advanced neuroimaging. The Brain Attack Coalition paper that proposed the establishment of these centers included management of aSAH in its scope.
