Navigation beyond the occlusion and retraction of stent‐retriever/aspiration catheter were the two most common procedural steps that led to perforation.ConclusionIn our cohort, perforation was approximately twice as frequent in MeVO than in LVO thrombectomy.

Intravascular imaging (IVI), such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), play a crucial role in assessing lesion characteristics and optimizing stent placement during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients were divided into two groups based on IVI usage.

Just before 10 AM, the patient received a stent to the culprit OM. We know that today's patient has had prior inferior OMI with stenting of his proximal RCA ~3 years earlier. In this view, the culprit lesion is not particularly obvious which is an important principle in angiography, and the reason why we obtain multiple views.

Methods:Our study comprised 1390 adult patients diagnosed with LVO stroke that underwent endovascular therapy at Rhode Island Hospital from July 2015 to March 2023 and data collected retrospectively. In the ICADLVO group, 23 out of 68 patients underwent angioplasty, whereas 38 patients received stenting.

Unfortunately, we do not have those images for review, but the operators described a ruptured LAD plaque and they stented this area, which ensures the stability of the plaque. The image on the left shows the LAD before intervention, and the red circled portion on the right indicates the stented region.
