Endovascular Stroke Treatment on Single-Plane vs. Bi-Plane Angiography Suites

Introduction Endovascular stroke therapy is mostly available in comprehensive stroke centers with state of the art bi-plane angiography suites. The aim of the present study was to analyze if it is justifiable to treat patients with alternative x‑ray machines in the case of capacity constraints, or if it is mandatory to refer patients in such cases. Secondly, we wanted to draw conclusions for the feasibility of different logistic approaches in stroke treatment, such as a “helistroke” concept.
