P005/44 Using the pEGASUS-stent with antithrombogenic properties and single antiplatelet therapy in a case of thrombectomy
IntroductionRescue stenting is used more and more in stroke cases with large-vessel-occlusion or medium-vessel-occlusion refractory to mechanical thrombectomy. The pEGASUS-stent(Phenox) represents a device which is equipped with a hydrophilic polymer coating(HPC) with antithrombogenic properties. The coating allows for implantation under single antiplatelet therapy, thus possibly reducing the risk of bleeding in acute stroke cases.Case HistoryA 79-year-old woman was rushed to emergency room due to left-sided hemiparesis and National-Institutes-of-Health-Stroke-Scale(NIHSS) of 14. Computed-tomography-image showed an occlusi...

E-055 Internal carotid artery reconstruction with flow diverting stents in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke: technical considerations and medical management
ConclusionsFDS appear to be a safe and effective tool for reconstruction of a symptomatic dissection in tortuous cervical ICAs. Their flexibility allows conformation to complex anatomies and they can be traversed multiple times by aspiration catheters/stentrievers. We found excellent patency at follow up. The unique challenges posed by utilization of high-profile stents in acute stroke require appropriate technical execution and medical management.Disclosures E. Orru: None. F. Bounni: None. M.

E-074 Case report: reconstructive endovascular treatment of symptomatic long segment dissection with pseudo-aneurysm of dominant left vertebral artery
We report a case of 27 year old Caucasian female with no known medical history who presented to our hospital with several days’ history of posterior headache and neck pain. CT head was unremarkable. CTA head and neck showed short segment of severe stenosis secondary to dissection at the V2-V3 junction of dominant left vertebral artery with associated 6 mm pseudo aneurysm. Right vertebral artery was hypoplastic and it ended in PICA. The dissection was presumed to be spontaneous as patient denied any trauma or strenuous neck manipulation or family history of connective tissue disorders. She was started on antiplatelet ...

E-044 Stenting of intracranial stenosis through an angioplasty balloon catheter - A case series
ConclusionDeploying self-expanding stents through an angioplasty balloon catheter is feasible, safe, and can greatly simplify the procedure. The Neuroform Atlas stent is strong enough to prevent immediate recoil of intracranial stenosis after angioplasty.Disclosures A. Takayanagi: None. J. Fields: None. K. Chao: None. D. Rex: None. P.

Bridging Therapy for Acute Stroke as the Initial Manifestation of Takayasu Arteritis: A Case Report and Review of Literature
We report a rare case of a patient with TA initially presenting with AIS treated with bridging therapy with full recovery of neurological function. Bridging therapy should be taken into consideration for AIS in patients with TA. Further study is needed in this regard.
