Most neurointerventionalists (91%) diagnose ICAS‐LVO after a continued or recurrent occlusion or by the presence of fixed focal stenosis after multiple mechanical thrombectomy attempts. Most respondents (86%) preferred acute treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting (RS)±angioplasty.

IntroductionIntracranial atherosclerosis‐related large vessel occlusion (ICAS‐LVO) is a common cause of failed mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) [1]. Treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting and/or angioplasty has shown promising outcomes, but diagnosing ICAS‐LVO during MT can be challenging [2, 3].

Doppler ultrasonography performed a day after the operation showed an increase in systolic blood velocity, with no observed urine output and raising a suspicion of arterial anastomotic stenosis. The transplant renal artery lesion was intervened with a stent.

There is an area of dense white in the middle of the circle consistent with atherosclerosis. They too have dense white masses consistent with coronary atherosclerosis. Or is it a very tight stenosis that does not allow enough flow to perfuse myocardium that has a high oxygen demand from severely elevated BP?

However, CTA head and neck 4 days later demonstrated 90 percent stenosis of the mid left V2 at the C3‐4 level and a 75‐90 percent stenosis of the left mid V2 segment at the C5‐6 level (hard and soft plaque in these areas). He also had moderate stenosis of the right V4 segment.

CT angiography (CTA) of the head and neck demonstrated a nearly occlusive thrombus of the distal right M2 segment MCA as well as non‐hemodynamic stenosis of the proximal right ICA with possible underlying sidewall filling defect‐appearing lesion concerning for a posterior wall thrombus without underlying atherosclerosis at the bulb or otherwise.

pre-existing, stable atherosclerosis) amidst any state of global duress – to include hypertension, hypoxia, tachycardia, hypotension, sepsis, and GI bleed, for example. Advanced multi-vessel disease was found with stents deployed to the mid-LCx (80% stenosis), D1 (90% stensosis), and the pLAD (95% stenosis).
