E-067 management of tandem intracranial and extracranial occlusion causing hyper acute ischemic stroke with extracranial cervical stenting in conjunction with mechanical thrombectomy

ConclusionsMajor Strokes due to TIM and VA origin/basilar occlusions can be successfully treated by extra-cranial internal carotid artery or vertebral artery stenting and mechanical thrombectomy (MT).Advances in knowledgeWe favor the use of a hybrid approach in terms of the proximal-distal sequence as it achieves early cerebral recanalization and also reduces the procedure time.This is one of the largest studies at present in the United Kingdom.DisclosuresS.
