Endovascular Revascularization Therapy in a Patient with Acute Ischemic Stroke due to Intracranial Multiple Large-vessel Occlusion

ABSTRACT

Multiple large-vessel occlusive stroke is rare in clinical practice, and its prognosis is usually poor. A 58-year-old female with atrial fibrillation experienced left hemiparesis and drowsy mentality, and was diagnosed with ischemic stroke due to acute occlusion of right carotid and basilar artery. Successful mechanical thrombectomy was performed for both occlusions with clot aspiration technique, and favorable outcome was achieved at 3-month. Endovascular revascularization therapy in acute occlusion of multiple large vessels seems feasible when favorable outcome can be expected.
