Abstract
Endovascular treatment (EVT) has revolutionized the management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), but almost half of patients undergoing EVT do not achieve a good outcome. Adjunctive therapies have been proposed to improve the outcomes of EVT in AIS. This review aims to summarize the current evidence on the use of adjunctive therapies in EVT for AIS, including antithrombotic agents, intra-arterial thrombolytics, cerebroprotective agents, normobaric oxygen, and hypothermia. Several adjunctive therapies have shown promise in improving the outcomes of EVT in AIS, but phase 3 clinical trials are needed to establish clinical efficacy. We summarize the advantages and disadvantages of adjunctive EVT treatments and outline the challenges that each of these therapies will face before being adopted in clinical practice.
