Case report demonstrates effective stent retriever angioplasty in treating acute stroke from atherosclerosis, suggesting a potential new treatment approach.
Objective: The optimal treatment strategy for acute ischemic stroke due to intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD-AIS) has not been established. The Tigertriever (Rapid Medical, Yokneam, Israel) is a unique stent retriever (SR) that allows manual adjustment of radial expansion force, a feature that may be advantageous for the treatment of ICAD-AIS. We report a case of ICAD-AIS successfully treated with SR angioplasty using the Tigertriever.
