Stenting of the cervical internal carotid artery in acute stroke management: The Karolinska experience.

Conclusions Our single-centre retrospective analysis of emergency stent placement in the extracranial internal carotid artery in combination with anterior circulation thrombectomy demonstrated high technical success, reasonable clinical outcomes and acceptable rates of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage in carefully chosen patients which are triaged interdisciplinary based on clinical and computed tomography imaging criteria. This warrants further study in a randomised prospective trial. PMID: 28304205 [PubMed - in process]
