Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

NOVEMBER 9, 2023

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.

Background:In stroke patients undergoing EVT, angioplasty and stenting (A&S) has been described as a bailout technique when thrombectomy fails or intracranial stenosis is suspected. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP88-AWMP88, February 1, 2024.

ml/h, P = 0.04), a higher likelihood of parent artery stenosis (65% vs. 20.8%, P < 0.001), and increased need for angioplasty or stenting (50% vs. 17%, P < 0.001). Follow-up lesion volumes and functional outcomes were similar; however, the mismatch group showed a slower infarct growth rate (3.8 ml/h vs. 7.5

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%

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 CT perfusion was without mismatch.
