Microsurgical embolectomy with superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass for acute internal carotid artery dissection: A technical case report.

Conclusion: Surgical embolectomy with or without bypass can safely treat acute ischemic stroke due to an ICA dissection that cannot be distinguished between a dissecting occlusion and an embolic occlusion. Thus, it may be considered as an alternative option for patients in whom mechanical thrombectomy has failed or for those who are ineligible for mechanical thrombectomy. PMID: 32874726 [PubMed]
