Abstract:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has had a tremendous impact on healthcare systems worldwide. Although the most common presentation of COVID-19 is respiratory illness, neurologic manifestations are increasing and the pandemic may have consequential effects on urgent conditions such as acute ischemic stroke. In this document, we describe the current status of neurointervention in Korea affected by COVID-19 based on a nationwide survey and review relevant literature from other countries and professional societies.
