Primary Stent Retrieval for Acute Intracranial Large Artery Occlusion Due to Atherosclerotic Disease

Abstract

Our findings suggest that stent retrieval can effectively remove thrombi from stenotic lesions and achieve partial recanalization despite the tendency toward reocclusion in most patients with IAD-related occlusion. Further research into the use of rescue treatments, such as tirofiban infusion and angioplasty, is warranted.
