Rapunzel syndrome is characterized by a large trichobezoar in the stomach with a tail extending beyond the pylorus into the small bowel, causing mechanical obstruction of the small bowel. A 7-year-old girl presented to the emergency room with severe epigastric pain. Computed tomography suggested trichobezoar causing jejuno-jejunal intussusceptions, bowel wall thickening, and dilated small bowel loops proximal to the obstruction.

Stent detachment and embolization are one of the most feared complications associated with poor clinical outcomes. Many techniques have been detailed in the literature for extracting such dislodged stents.

There are many treatment strategies including microsurgical and endovascular techniques. We feel that endovascular treatment using trans-radial access (TRA) is safe and convenient for PIA compared to the trans-femoral access (TFA), which is commonly employed in this population.

Objective: We demonstrate the use of coronary stents in the intracranial circulation as rescue stenting for an already expensive mechanical thrombectomy procedure in a mid-low socioeconomic setting.
Methods: A retrospective, multicenter study was conducted between December 2015 and January 2021.
