Acute Ischemic Stroke, Intracranial Artery Occlusion
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is a prospective, open-label, multi-center, registry study, designed to show that rescue stenting is safe and effective for emergency large vessel occlusion (ELVO) patients who have mechanical thrombectomy failure. Participants with ELVO will initially underwent mechanical thrombectomy usig stent retriever, contact aspiration or both. After failure of mechanical thrombectomy, rescue stenting will be performed.
Interventions
The subjects will receive endovascular treatment for acute stroke according to standard clinical practice. Specifically, modern endovascular thrombectomy using a stent retriever, contact aspiration thrombectomy, or both are allowed. The number of thrombectomy attempts is at the operator's discretion. After failure of standard thrombectomy procedure, rescue stenting with Solitaire will be done. Additional balloon angioplasty, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (GPI), or thrombolytic infusions are optional and at the operator's discretion. After successful recanalization with rescue stenting, intravenous maintenance of GPI at least for a 12 hours and then changed to oral antiplatelet are recommended.
