Mechanical Thrombectomy for Stroke After Cardiac Surgery [1]
The authors reviewed the role of mechanical thrombectomy in patients who develop strokes following cardiac surgery in their own center and from the literature. They conclude that mechanical thrombectomy is indicated for those patients who develop a stroke following cardiac surgery in whom systemic thrombolysis is contraindicated and when the thrombectomy can be performed within 6 hours of the onset of the stroke
