BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Several small case series reported a favorable clinical
outcome for emergency stent placement in the extracranial internal carotid artery combined …

Background Emergency stent placement in the extracranial internal carotid artery in
combination with anterior circulation thrombectomy is a routine procedure. Yet, precise …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In past years, thrombectomy has become a widely used
procedure in interventional neuroradiology for the treatment of acute intracranial occlusions …

Background The feasibility, safety and effectiveness of emergency carotid artery stenting
(eCAS) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to proximal internal carotid artery …

Extracranial carotid artery occlusion or high-grade stenosis with concomitant intracranial
embolism causes severe ischemic stroke and shows poor response rates to intravenous …

OBJECTIVE: Carotid artery occlusions traditionally have extremely poor outcomes with
intravenous tissue plasminogen activator treatment or emergent thromboendarterectomy …

Introduction Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion has a
poor prognosis if treated by intravenous thrombolysis. Intra-arterial (IA) treatment is a …

Background Stent‐retriever thrombectomy is the first‐line therapy in acute stroke with
intracranial large vessel occlusion. In case of failure of stent‐retriever thrombectomy, rescue …

Background and Purpose—Acute ischemic stroke attributable to extracranial internal carotid
artery (ICA) occlusion is frequently associated with severe disability or death. In selected …

We report the use of a self-expanding stent as a thrombectomy device in 17 patients (mean
age 64.3 years) with major ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion. The …
