Percutaneous management of acute ischaemic stroke
Learning objectives To understand both the rationale and principles behind percutaneous management of stroke. To be aware of the evidence base for this treatment. To appreciate the current logistical challenges and how they might be overcome. Introduction In principle, the similarity between opening an occluded cerebral artery and an occluded coronary artery, when the perfusion to that organ is acutely compromised, is inescapable: to re-establish antegrade flow as quickly as possible to minimise downstream damage.
