149 Emergency Clot Retrieval and Stenting for Posterior Circulation Stroke

Abstract The current literature regarding the morphology and presentations of strokes due to basilar artery stenosis/occlusion is limited. This pathology a rare cause stroke its management not clearly decided in guidelines or published literature. Moreover, posterior circulation are reported be more devastating than anterior circulation. We present case 68-year-old male who presented an acute setting with reduced consciousness, myoclonic jerks, weakness nausea from occluded mid-segment artery. MRI showed evidence left cerebellar right occipital infarcts. Emergent cerebral angiography was performed, he immediately treated by thrombectomy stenting (Stryker Wingspan stent). patient made full recovery within one week remained well at follow-up 3 months post-procedure. Emergency recanalization strokes, clot retrieval stenting, should considered as treatment option.
