EP61 Direct carotid puncture for mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischaemic stroke: a single centre experience and review of the literature

ConclusionDirect carotid puncture is an effective and generally safe approach for EVT, with major access-site related complications seen in <5% of the cases. It should be considered as a bailout technique or primary access approach in selected cases.ReferencesAkpinar CK, et al.
