Abstract

Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has become the standard of care for acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusions. The success of MT is mainly due to the development of new-generation devices that allow higher rates of successful revascularization with lower complications. In this chapter, we review the evolution of MT devices and technologies.
