E-020 Between a Rock and a Hard Place: The Use of Self-expanding Stents for the Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke due to Recalcitrant Emergency Large Vessel Occlusion in the Era of Stent-retrievers: Single-center Experience and Early Results

ConclusionInitial results suggest that acute intracranial stenting may be beneficial in a subset of patients who present with an ELVO and who have failed recanalization by means of mechanical thrombectomy with stent-retrievers and/or thromboaspiration with large bore intracranial catheters.DisclosuresJ.
