Outcomes After Intracranial Rescue Stenting for Acute Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In cases of failed recanalization despite modern mechanical thrombectomy (MT) techniques, intracranial rescue stenting (RS) may be beneficial. However, outcomes and complications of RS relative to the natural history of ongoing emergent large vessel occlusion are unknown. To evaluate whether RS for ongoing emergent large vessel occlusion after failed MT achieves superior outcomes to the natural history of persistent emergent large vessel occlusion.

Methods

Patients from the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry who underwent RS after failed MT from 2014 to 2019 were analyzed. For outcome comparisons, patients were screened for inclusion/exclusion criteria of 3 major randomized, controlled MT trials.

Results

Over 5 years, 2827 patients underwent thrombec
