Endovascular Treatment for Stroke in a Single Center in a Developing Country: Permanent Training is the Key.

Objective: In Mexico, the systematic implementation of mechanical thrombectomy has been delayed due to several factors, such as the conditions of the healthcare system. The objective of this report is to explain the experience in our center going through these circumstances, how we have overcome them, our results, and our pending challenges.

Methods: This is a single-center, independent, and retrospective study of prospectively collected data destined to record consecutive patients treated with endovascular techniques at a Mexican hospital that implemented a mechanical thrombectomy program for large vessel occlusion (LVO).
