title: Stent-retriever thrombectomy: impact on the future of interventional stroke treatment.
abstract: Endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke has evolved in the past years. The current development of stent-retriever thrombectomy is a landmark in the clinical treatment and study results of acute ischemic stroke. This review summarizes the recent study results, elucidates the shortcomings of endovascular stroke treatment, and takes the opportunity for an outlook on the role of stroke interventions in the future.
