Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke Due to Intracranial Atherosclerotic Large Vessel Occlusion

ConclusionThe use of ET is a  safe and effective therapeutic option for AIS due to ICAS-LVO. Stent-retriever thrombectomy and stent-implement are the preferred primary and rescue therapies respectively for ICAS-LVO. Less symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and higher stenting were observed in the ICAS-LVO compared to the embol ic-LVO group.
