Hi,
You can't expect a complete physical recovery after such a massive stroke with such a massive surgery. Recovery can be expected, but recovery with out residual paralysis is not possible. I am not sure whether should you insist or not knowing the consequences, but yes an attempt could have been made especially as you told there have been others who have died because of same symptoms. Each and every case has to be taken in individual way, some might regain some function, and some might not at all. Recurring stroke after such an event if taken care properly with medicine and dietary restriction, the possibilities are less.
Hope this helps.

TO caliber 2005, would this have worked in my brother's case ,with lt hemi infarct the angiograph showed complete blockage of the caroctic arteries on the left side with complete loss of circulation TO THE LT SIDE OF HIS BRAIN when we where shown his agiograph and mri less than 24 hr later there was already midline shift the HOSPITAL STATED IF IT WERE DONE IT WOULD LEAVE HIM IN PVS STATE SHOULD I HAVE INSISTED? HE SURCOMED TO THE STROKE 94 HRS AFTER THE STROKE . AND DO THESE PT'S DO MORE THAN SURVIE DO THEY HAVE COMPLETE RECOVERY AFTER LOSEING THE LT SIDE OF HIS BRAIN FUNTION ? WHAT IS THE INSTANCES OF RECURRING STROKE AFTER SUCH AN EVENT ?DOSE A HEMICRAINECTOPY ALSO RESTORE PT TO FULL PHYSICAL CAPEABILITIES, ? OR ARE THEY BED CONFINED ? JACK 10
Hi Jack,
Induced moderate hypothermia (32.8C to 33.8C) and hemicraniectomy with durotomy or duroplasty are two promising therapeutic strategies that may reduce mortality rates and improve outcomes if they are performed before irreversible brain stem injury occurs.
Hemicraniectomy primarily prevents tissue shifts that lead to brain stem compression.
Early hemicraniectomy (within first 24 hours) results in an unequivocal reduction in mortality rates.
Hope this answers your question.
Hope this helps you.
Bye.
