title: [Mechanical recanalization].
abstract: Although several studies and registries have focused on new interventional systems for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, a standard procedure has not yet been established. The procedure itself is still controversially discussed but studies have shown that patients who were successfully treated with mechanical recanalization had a better clinical outcome.
