Abstract

Cardiac & Cardiovascular Systems Cardiovascular System & Cardiology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology
This review summarizes the current state-of-the-art regarding the endovascular management cif acute ischemic stroke. Beginning with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator, this paper traces the gradual shift of systemic thrombolysis from a competing to complementary treatment modality. Intra-arterial thronnbolysis, mechanical thrombectomy with the Merci (Concentric Medical, Mountain View, California) and Penumbra (Penumbra, Inc., Alameda, California) systems, angioplasty, primary intracranial stenting, and emerging stentriever devices are sequentially reviewed. Ultimately, this paper lays the foundation for current endovascular stroke management and considers future areas of progress and research.
