Abstract

Endovascular thrombectomy is a very effective treatment of ischemic stroke caused by acute occlusion of a proximal intracranial artery. The treatment increases the chances of good functional outcome considerably.1 However, longer duration of the intervention and multiple passes are associated with increased chances of adverse outcomes.2 Intervention teams will face a dilemma when, after several attempts, the occluding thromboembolus is removed, but a more peripherally located vessel is still occluded.
