In the past year there have been clinical trial advances in many areas that will impact the way stroke care is practiced in the intensive care unit (ICU). These include: (1) the long-term follow-up results of the International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial (ISAT) comparing clipping versus coiling for ruptured intracranial aneurysms, (2) the results of a phase 2 trial of prophylactic balloon angioplasty for Fisher Grade III subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and (3) a variety of studies from the general critical care literature that have helped define best medical practices in the neuro-ICU.
