Three strikes? Failed vascular access in mechanical thrombectomy

Anatomic variability in the posterior circulation and small, fragile, or otherwise treacherous origins of vertebral arteries can create a challenge to acute endovascular intervention. We report a case of unsuccessful reperfusion due to inability to access the posterior circulation in a patient with...

Sumario:Anatomic variability in the posterior circulation and small, fragile, or otherwise treacherous origins of vertebral arteries can create a challenge to acute endovascular intervention. We report a case of unsuccessful reperfusion due to inability to access the posterior circulation in a patient with acute basilar artery occlusion.
