Abstract

Introduction: ischemic stroke is an endemic pathology, of which its approach has been studied since new techniques and technologies have been developed in its treatment. Currently, there are two types of therapies, thrombolysis, and thrombectomy. 

Objective: the objective of this review is to describe ischemic stroke and compare both therapeutic approaches, their benefits, and limitations in the management of the disease. 

Method: the design of the review was evaluative and the search for articles was carried out in the PubMed, Cochrane, and SciELO databases, with the following selection criteria: systemic reviews, meta-analysis, clinical and preclinical trials, guidelines for clinical practice, and bibliographic reviews published from 2015 to 2020, with a total of 32 articles and 4 books consulted with adequate quality and validity. 

Development: mechanical thrombectomy has generated good functional results, with better recanalization rates and a longer therapeutic window than thrombolysis, with direct aspiration being cost-effective and with better results than the application of the stentriever. 

Conclusions: the primary management of acute ischemic stroke with mechanical thrombectomy by direct aspiration is cost-effective, with better functional results than thrombolysis alone, and is effective with or without it.
