Developments in endovascular treatment have opened new promising prospects for treating acute ischemic stroke. In France, EVT is increasingly used, especially when intravenous thrombolysis is contraindicated or has failed. However, it has not been documented how neurointerventional centers are organized practically for the treatment of AIS. The present survey aims to address this. ⋯ This survey shows that French neuroradiology departments have made important efforts to implement EVT of AIS with a high quality of care for the patients; the majority of the centers used MRI to evaluate the disease and anesthesiologists are involved in order to optimize medical care during EVT.
