Abstract
Interventional neuroradiological techniques are described, which are used for revascularisation of the intra-extracranial vessels in acute stroke. The results are based on our experience gained during the endovascular treatment of more than 300 patients suffering from acute stroke during the last years. Indication, procedures and results of intraarterial thrombolysis, thrombo-aspiration, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, and implantation of stents in cases of occlusion or pseudoocclusion of brain supplying vessels are discussed. Furthermore first experiences with new techniques from other centers are presented, e.g., thrombolysis by ultrasound (sonothrombolysis), by angiojet aspiration, and laser evaporation of the thromboembolic occlusion of intra- and extracranial blood vessels.
