Background And Aims: Emergent stent placement may be required during neurothrombectomy. Our aim was to investigate the incidence, predictors and clinical relevance of early extracranial carotid stent occlusion following neurothrombectomy.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 761 consecutive neurothrombectomies performed at our center between May 2010 and August 2018, from whom a total of 106 patients had acute internal carotid artery occlusions.
