Mechanical Thrombectomy of Acute Ischemic Stroke Anterior Circulation Distal Vessel Occlusion
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
Ischemic stroke continues to be of the leading causes of disability and death. Distal vessel occlusion one of most presenting and disabling varieties of ischemic stroke. Distal vessel occlusion stroke is a type of ischemic stroke that affects the small arteries in the brain, usually beyond the M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery. These strokes can cause various neurological symptoms depending on the location and size of the occluded vessel and the extent of the brain tissue damage
