This commentary will focus on the role of thrombectomy for the treatment of embolic stroke during the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We will begin with review of recently promulgated guidelines for use of thrombectomy in COVID-19-associated stroke. We will then survey the reported experience of thrombectomy applied to treatment of large-vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke in COVID-19. We will conclude by discussing unusual challenges confronted by neuro-interventionalists seeking to perform thrombectomy in COVID-19 patients with acute LVO stroke.
本评论将重点关注在 2019 年新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）期间取栓治疗栓塞性卒中的作用。我们将首先回顾最近发布的 COVID-19 相关性卒中取栓应用指南。然后，我们将调查在 COVID-19 中应用取栓治疗大血管闭塞（LVO）卒中的报道经验。最后，我们将讨论神经介入医师在 COVID-19 伴急性 LVO 卒中患者中进行取栓时所面临的特殊挑战。
