When conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation measures fail to achieve the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with APE, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) becomes a viable therapeutic option.

IntroductionIntracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is associated with up to 32% of posterior circulation strokes.1 Rescue treatment with stenting, balloon angioplasty, and/or intraarterial thrombolysis or antiplatelets are often required to treat the underlying stenosis.

In cases of stent-retriever thrombectomy failure, rescue stent angioplasty might be the sole option for achieving permanent recanalization. We defined two binary outcomes: (1) functional clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) and (2) early symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). 10.43, p=0.0325).Conclusions:The

After several patients in this series developed subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured mycotic aneurysm, we proceeded to institute weekly cerebral angiography protocol. The aneurysms were seen exclusively in the posterior circulation. The average size of aneurysms when first detected was 5.0 ± 3.8

Rescue strategies options, including balloon angioplasty alone, rescue stenting (RS) alone, or stent with balloon angioplasty, have shown promise in observational studies and meta‐analyses [3, 4]. The primary efficacy outcome was the shift in the degree of disability, as measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), at 90 days.

1,2 The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) cutoff for poor outcomes is lower in BAO compared to anterior circulation large vessel occlusions (LVO) due to the scale’s weighted scoring towards cortical signs.3,4 3,4 To bridge this gap, Alemseged et.al

Options include initial angioplasty and/or stenting of the cervical lesion followed by intracranial thrombectomy versus Dotter navigation of catheters through the cervical lesion to first target the intracranial LVO. The degree of cervical ICA stenosis following thrombectomy improved from 96.5%
