3) Rescue stenting (RS) in these patients has shown promising rates of recanalization and better outcomes in preliminary studies. Therefore, rescue stenting can be considered as a safe and viable option in these patients. 1, 2)These patients are also more likely to experience poor functional outcomes. (3)

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].

A CT CAC scan can only identify if there is calcified atherosclerosis, where it is and to what extent. A CT CAC scan of 0 indicates no significant amount of calcified atherosclerosis. It does not imply that there is NO advanced atherosclerosis. And it matters. They are not fantastic odds, in my view.
