COVID-19 syndrome, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, most commonly presents with upper respiratory infectious symptoms and may lead to hypoxemic failure, the most common cause of ventilation support. There may be a hypercoagulable state during SARS-CoV-2 infections that could lead to an increased vascular thrombotic phenomenon and a potential need for neurointerventional procedures. We aim to outline practices to be considered when managing COVID-19 patients requiring neurointerventional care.
