Acute ischemic stroke is one of the few medical emergencies where every minute has a direct impact on patient outcomes.
While mechanical thrombectomy has transformed the treatment of large-vessel occlusive stroke, successful stroke care begins long before the first catheter enters the vessel.
At our institution, a dedicated Code FAST is activated as soon as a patient with suspected acute stroke arrives in the Emergency Department. Rapid clinical assessment, expedited imaging, prompt decision-making, and seamless coordination between emergency physicians, neurologists, radiologists, nurses, technologists, and the neurointerventional team allow patients to move efficiently from diagnosis to treatment.
The images below represent a selection of stroke thrombectomy cases managed through this pathway—from vascular occlusion to successful reperfusion.
For endovascular specialists, stroke care is a reminder that outcomes depend not only on technical expertise, but also on efficient systems of care, multidisciplinary teamwork, and timely intervention.
