Endovascular treatment in acute ischemic stroke is usually performed via a transfemoral approach. Catheterization can be problematic in cases with difficult anatomy: unfavorable arch type, vessel tortuosity and ostial stenosis, aorta coarc‑ tation, iliac artery occlusion. The aim of this review is to describe the place of another arterial approach in the manage‑ ment in acute ischemic stroke: direct common carotid
