Abstract
AIM: Apoptosis after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury leads to the process of cell death. The deal therapeutic approach would target the apoptosis after I/R. Ischemic postconditioning is a recently discovered neuroprotective strategy that involves the application of brief mechanical reperfusion with a specific algorithm at the onset of reperfusion following an ischemic period.
