Summary

This study aims to establish the best clinical practice for the management of acute ischemic stroke related to narrowing or blockage of the neck vessels. Currently, the treating physicians use one of two surgical approaches based on their preference. However, we do not know which technique is the best. In this study, you will undergo mechanical thrombectomy using one of the techniques (stenting vs. non-stenting approaches) to determine which technique is better compared to the other.
