Acute revascularization is associated with improved outcomes in ischemic stroke patients. However, it is unclear which method of intraarterial intervention, if any, is ideal. Numerous case series and cardiac literature parallels suggest that acute stenting may yield high revascularization levels with low associated morbidity. We therefore conducted a Food and Drug Administration-approved prospective pilot trial to evaluate the safety of intracranial stenting for acute ischemic stroke.
