To estimate the needed workforce of trained neurointerventionalists (NIs) to perform endovascular therapy (ET) for eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). ⋯ The current and projected number of NIs would adequately supply the future need if the proportion of patients requiring AIS endovascular therapy increases. However, 2 to 3 NIs per comprehensive stroke center would be needed to provide 24/7 AIS therapy with a sufficient number of cases per NI. A tertiary stroke center model similar to the trauma model may provide the manpower solution without compromising the quality of care.
