Sure you can. Just not with any technology on the horizon. But there is conceivable technology (e.g. medical nanotechnology) that could prevent strokes or stop them as they are happening.

Like detecting constriction or loss of integrity of blood vessels, and doing the corresponding intervention.

The saddest thing here is not that it requires some future nanotechnology, but is achievable at the present scientific level, yet too expensive to develop, and wouldn't see FDA permission in a decade or two anyway.
