【 摘 要 】

There is increasing evidence of a higher incidence of stroke in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection (1, 2). This poses significant implications for anesthesiologists in the management of this complex patient population for emergency management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). In this article, we would like to shed light on this topic by critically appraising the current literature specifically addressing anesthetic management during interventional treatment of ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19.
