    AbstractEndovascular therapy in the acute management of ischemic stroke has become more common with technologic advances, such as easier navigation into the intracranial circulation and improved treatment efficacy with the advent of revascularization devices. This select review outlines milestones in the application of endovascular therapy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and offers some insight into important factors influencing the future directions of endovascular AIS treatment. In particular, we discuss the evolution of endovascular devices for AIS and how ingenuity continues to offer novel treatments. With these advances, the future of endovascular AIS treatment is promising.
