An innovative endovascular approach for acute ischemic stroke attributable to ICAS-LVO: the RESCUE (Retrievable stent-Endovascular tirofiban-paSs-ExtraCtion-microgUide-rEscue angioplasty) technique
Background Conventional mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to intracranial atherosclerosis-related large vessel occlusion (ICAS-LVO) is associated with low first-pass reperfusion (FPR), distal embolization, and recurrent thrombosis. We designed a novel stepwise endovascular strategy, the R...
