* Some emboli are less amenable to endovascular therapy and require microsurgical removal via craniotomy

A craniotomy for cerebral embolectomy is a neurosurgical procedure performed to remove intravascular clots from intracranial vessels.

Overview

Indications[1]

  • Most intracranial clots are treated with intravenous and/or endovascular intraarterial thrombolysis
  • Clots which require mechanical removal are most commonly treated with endovascular thrombectomy
  • Some emboli are less amenable to endovascular therapy and require microsurgical removal via craniotomy
    • Large atherosclerotic plaques
    • Foreign bodies (e.g. balloons, microcoil)
  • Best outcomes if embolectomy performed within 6-24 hours of symptom onset
