- Abstract
•The number of mechanical thrombectomies has increased a sevenfold since 2012 in France.•The mean number of interventional neuroradiologist per center performing mechanical thrombectomy increased from 2.9±0.9 to 3.7±1.85.•Majority of interventional neuroradiologist use combined (stent and distal aspiration) approach (54.5%), and the use of balloon guide catheter is not standard, with a third of them never using it.•The majority of centers performing mechanical thrombectomy would require at least one more interventional neuroradiologist to stabilize team and insure continuity of care.
