Summary
Introduction: Intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular treatment for occluded vessel in acute ischemic stroke patients reduces mortality and effects prognosis. Mechanical thrombectomy shows better results than intravenous thrombolytic treatment on proximal vessel occlusions. In this study, we aimed to evaluate efficiency of Solitaire stent based mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke patients who has proximal vessel occlusion, and its impact on prognosis of these patients.
