Mechanical Thrombectomy-A Brief Review of a Revolutionary new Treatment for Thromboembolic Stroke.
Clinical Neuroradiology 2018 September
The recent success of endovascular stroke treatment has heralded a new era in the management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with significantly improved outcome for patients. A large number of patients may be amenable to this new treatment and as the evidence expands the number of patients eligible for mechanical thrombectomy continues to increase. Recent evidence suggests that the time window for treatment can be extended up to 24 h after symptom onset for patients with anterior circulation strokes; however, many clinicians and medical professionals may not be aware of these recent changes and it is important that they are kept up-to-date with this rapidly evolving treatment. This review provides an overview of the recent successful trials and highlights important steps that should be instituted in order to achieve rapid reperfusion and optimize the outcome for ischemic stroke patients. It also looks at the remaining controversies facing the field of thrombectomy. A short summary of each of these contentious areas is provided and the current state of the art.
