Abstract

The stroke center with endovascular intervention has been developed with advances in acute stroke therapy. Vascular neurologists who intend to perform endovascular intervention should receive advanced clinical training in a neurosurgical department, as well as experience in cardiovascular medicine for a prescribed period. A stroke team combined with vascular neurologists, neurosurgeons, and endovascular interventionists would be essential for a regional core comprehensive stroke center in the future.
