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
