Abstract
Recanalization rates with conventional pharmacologic thrombolysis and thrombectomy devices in the treatment of large-vessel occlusions are low. Moreover, these patients do not have favorable clinical outcomes. Better recanalization devices and approaches are needed. In this review, we describe current stents used in the intracranial circulation and their application in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion.
