Endovascular treatment of ischaemic stroke patients - new evidence and old challenges

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articleContributedpeer-review

Abstract

An overwhelming benefit from endovascular treatment of ischaemic stroke could be shown in recent clinical trials, making it the new evidence-based standard of care for ischaemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. To provide all eligible stroke patients with this therapy at any time, stroke networks and hospitals should streamline their workflow to rapidly image, select, and treat stroke patients. Interdisciplinary cooperation is vital for effective emergency endovascular stroke treatment, which is one of the most complex multidisciplinary functions a hospital can undertake.
