Abstract
The goal when treating ischaemic apoplexy is a rapid, safe and effective recanalization. For some years, the main treatment has been the administration of IV thrombolysis, but due to several restrictions, lack of efficacy and a limited window of opportunity for treatment, an alternative method was needed. This formed the foundation for the develop-ment of endovascular thrombectomy. This review describes the development and the mechanisms involved as well as the results and treatment gains.
