Worlds First Real-Time Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke [ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE]

SUMMARY:
Several recent reports have discussed real-time artificial intelligence (AI) assistance in elective neuroendovascular procedures such as carotid artery stent placement, coil embolization for cerebral aneurysms, and liquid embolization. We present our preliminary experience with real-time AI-assisted mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) under local anesthesia. A real-time deep learning–based AI software (Neuro-Vascular Assist, iMed Technologies) was used dur…
