Abstract:

Ischemic stroke (AS) is one of the leading causes of death and disability of the working populatior around the world. According to modern recommendations, mechanical thrombectomy with use of stent-retrievers is the most effective method of treatment for stroke. with localization of thrombus in large cerebral arteries of the carotid basin.

The article presents a literature review devoted to various stent-retrievers, their technical characteristics, and their potential for application in the treatment of acute cerebrovascular accident, ischemic type. The analysis and comparative characteristics of existing modern stent-retrievers are presented, depending on the diameter and artery bend, thromb characteristics, stent characteristics.
