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.

Is primary PCI superior to thrombolysis in the first hour of STEMI ? The fact of the matter is, at best, pPCI fights for equipoise in the first hour, but thrombolysis is a clear winner in moral, scientifc & holistic perspective, as it can be administered very early, at a fraction of cost ,independent of expertise and infrastructure.

In cases of stent-retriever thrombectomy failure, rescue stent angioplasty might be the sole option for achieving permanent recanalization. Conclusions:The use of rescue stent angioplasty can be considered after unsuccessful stent-retriever thrombectomy, along with intravenous thrombolytic therapy. 10.43, p=0.0325).Conclusions:The

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 patients were divided into two groups: those who received RS and those who only received MM.
