Endovascular treatment for emergent large vessel occlusion due to severe intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.
CONCLUSIONS Both intracranial angioplasty/stenting and intraarterial infusion of a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor are effective and safe in the treatment of underlying severe ICAS in acute stroke patients with ELVO. In addition, a lack of a history of stroke/TIA was the only independent predictor of good outcome after endovascular therapy in such patients. PMID: 29932374 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
