Endovascular therapies offer a promising alternative to intravenous tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke, overcoming limitations like narrow time windows and low recanalization rates in large artery strokes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke has limited public health impact due to narrow treatment windows and low recanalization rates.
  • Endovascular therapies have evolved, offering potential solutions to these limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current approach and evidence for endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke.
  • To highlight patient selection criteria, including advanced imaging techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of endovascular strategies including chemical, mechanical, ultrasound-based, and multimodal approaches.
  • Discussion of authors' clinical experience with these techniques.
  • Emphasis on patient selection using perfusion/diffusion imaging.

Main Results:

  • Endovascular modalities achieve recanalization rates of 50%–65%.
  • No single endovascular modality has demonstrated clear superiority.
  • Multimodal strategies are often used in practice to optimize recanalization and minimize hemorrhage.

Conclusions:

  • Endovascular therapy is a rapidly evolving field for acute ischemic stroke treatment.
  • Multimodal treatment strategies may become the future standard of care for achieving rapid recanalization and improving stroke outcomes.
