Anesthetic Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Interventional Neuro-Radiology Suite: State of the Art.

Purpose Of Review: This review discusses the general anesthetic approach of endovascular stroke therapy and highlights recent advances and considerations for optimal intraoperative management of acute ischemic stroke.

Recent Findings: Recent randomized controlled trials have shown no differences in clinical outcomes between monitored anesthesia care with sedation compared with general anesthesia for endovascular stroke therapy. The COVID-19 pandemic has complicated decision-making in the neurointerventional setting.
