Mechanical Thrombectomy Compared to Local-Intraarterial Thrombolysis in Carotid T and Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusions

Authors:

Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine the effects of mechanical thrombectomy using the Solitaire stent in patients with thromboembolic occlusions of the intracranial carotid artery bifurcation (carotid T) or middle cerebral artery (MCA) and to compare the results with a historical cohort treated with local intraarterial thrombolysis using urokinase.
