Device size selection can enhance Y-stentrieving efficacy and safety as a rescue strategy in stroke thrombectomy

Conclusion Y-stentrieving is an effective and safe bail-out strategy for refractory bifurcation clots. Longer stents may promote better angiographic outcomes, whereas avoidance of disproportionately large retrievers may mitigate intracranial hemorrhage. Future studies should account for these factors when evaluating alternative stentriever techniques.
