Abstract

Understanding of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) pathophysiology and technological advances are now providing the opportunity to significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this debilitating type of stroke. As reviewed in this article, several ongoing clinical trials may transform the way this patient population is treated within the next 5 years. Although more research is needed, a new era for ICH management is beginning.
