There is a new treatment for strokes described in this NY Times article.
It has to happen quickly and requires big (non-portable) equipment.
If the stroke is a blockage of blood flow by a clot, rather that a burst vessle, the location of the clot can be identified by CT scan and endoscopically removed through a femoral vessel.
If quick enough, recovery seems good.
