Endovascular Therapies in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

Intraarterial therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) was originally described five decades ago. Since then, the endovascular management of AIS endovascular therapy has advanced swiftly, and a promising body of evidence informing patient selection and interventional techniques has accrued. The authors discuss the evolution of endovascular therapy for AIS, including a review of recently published landmark clinical trials.
