Severe ischemic stroke is characterized by severe neurological deficits, sometimes accompanied by cardiovascular and respiratory dysfunction, which could lead to severe disability and death. This article reviews the national and international trials of reperfusion treatment for severe ischemic stroke in recent 20 years, and summarizes relevant clinical guidelines and expert consensuses. In general, intravenous thrombolysis is not restricted for patients with severe neurological deficits, but should be cautiously considered for patients with large infarction. Patients with large vessel occlusion could benefit from endovascular treatment, and whilst prevention and treatment for brain edema are important for patients with very large infarction. For patients who have received reperfusion therapies, the target for the management of blood pressure should incorporate the status of recanalization and a stable level of blood pressure should be maintained.
