University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Researcher Provides Details of New Studies and Findings in the Area of Thrombectomy (Rescue Stenting for Failed Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Basilar Artery Occlusions: Analysis of the PC-SEARCH...).

A study conducted at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics examined the effectiveness of rescue stenting (RS) following failed mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO). The research found that patients who received RS showed improved functional outcomes, reduced mortality rates, and comparable rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) compared to the control group. The study suggests that further randomized trials are needed to validate these findings.
