Anticipated potential limitations in health care resources (personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators, personnel, hospital space) resulted in triaged delays of non-emergent endovascular procedures and surgeries [1] [2] [3] . We discuss several aspects of care that should be considered during the neuroendovascular resumption of an elective phase including hospital bed capacity, PPE resources, pre-procedure testing and post-procedure care. While the re-introduction of neurointerventional elective procedures can expose an additional specific and related risk of infection and stress, advance preparation and the development of modified pre-procedure protocols, intra-procedural protocols (sharing similarities with acute neurological emergencies) [7] [8] [9] , and post-procedural protocols can help organize the care of the patient, optimize peri-procedural risk to both patient and health care provider, and accommodate for appropriate resource allocation. ./cache/cord-279736-udsbcqfs.txt ./txt/cord-279736-udsbcqfs.txt
