Sumario:Stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability in the US. Endovascular therapy (EVT), in the form of mechanical thrombectomy, is now a standard of care for patients with acute ischemic stroke with a large vessel occlusion. This article reviews the evolution of EVT in the management of acute ischemic stroke and how it has led to the concept of tissue window over the widely publicized time window.
