Stent Retriever AssIsted Lysis Technique with Tirofiban: A Potential Bailout Alternative to Angioplasty and Stenting

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Angioplasty and stenting (A p=0.932), post-SAIL significant stenosis (33.3% vs 55.0%; p=0.203), early symptomatic reocclusion (0% vs 8.0%; p=0.207), or sICH (5.3% vs 8.0%; p=0.721). Rescue A p=0.112). At 90 days, mRS 0-2 (IA-SAIL 50.0% vs IV-SAIL 43.5%; p=0.086) and mortality (26.3% vs 12.0%; p=0.223) were also similar. CONCLUSIONS: In stroke patients in which A MT = Mechanical Thrombectomy; SR = SR Stent Retriever; SAIL = Stent retriever AssIsted Lysis, sICH = Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage.
