How Often Are Patients With Ischemic Stroke Eligible for Decompressive Hemicraniectomy?
Stroke 43:550-552, Rahme,R.,et al, 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Based on criteria from clinical trials, only 0.3% of cases were eligible for hemicraniectomy. Given the survival and functional outcome benefit in treated patients, future studies should determine whether additional subgroups of patients with ischemic stroke may benefit from hemicraniectomy.
