Intraarterial therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) was originally described five decades ago. Since then, the endovascular management of AIS endovascular therapy has advanced swiftly, and a promising body of evidence informing patient selection and interventional techniques has accrued. The authors discuss the evolution of endovascular therapy for AIS, including a review of recently published landmark clinical trials.
