Abstract
Stroke treatment has entered a new era after the publication of multiple randomized trials involving the use of a stent retriever since 2015. In Taiwan, the demand for interventional neuroradiologists to perform mechanical thrombectomy is high. For this reason, providing this standard care requires reshaping of the care model. Here, we report our experience in recruiting an acute coronary care team to perform emergent mechanical thrombectomy, which is essential in a patient with acute ischemic stroke.Entities:
