ABSTRACT

Ischemic strokes are a frequent clinical entity and have a great impact on patients´ health and independence. A significant number of these patients progress with a poor functional outcome when they feature conditions that confers a poor prognosis of revascularization through intravenous thrombolysis. Given this, mechanical thrombectomy has become a solid therapeutic option in this type of patients and those who are not candidates for the administration of intravenous alteplase. In recent years, new evidence has been generated that supports this approach and demonstrates its benefit in new clinical contexts for which previously there was no possibility of therapy. Because of this, international stroke associations have taken up the task of updating their guidelines and recommendations in relation to this issue based on the new information that has been published in recently. This article aims to establish the most important points to define and address a patient that would benefit from performing endovascular mechanical thrombectomy.
