Résumé

Selected patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes can benefit from endovascular therapy (EVT). However, the effectiveness of EVT is largely dependent on how quickly the patient receives treatment. Recent technological developments have led to the first neurointerventional treatments using robotic assistance, opening up the possibility of performing remote stroke interventions. Existing telestroke networks provide acute stroke care, including remote administration of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Therefore, the introduction of remote EVT in distant stroke centers requires an adaptation of the existing telestroke networks. The aim of this work was to propose a framework for centers that are potential candidates for telerobotics according to the resources currently available in these centers.
