Abstract
Stroke remains the most common cause of death and permanent disability in the developed countries of the world. One of the main predictors of a good outcome is both mostly fast and safety recanalization of the occluded vessel of the brain. Over the past decade, endovascular therapy became a promising therapeutic approach for patients with acute ischemic stroke in combination with early usage of high-resolution methods of neuroimaging. This article discusses a clinical case of severe ischemic stroke due to occlusion of a major artery, confirmed by CT angiography. The efficacy of reperfusion therapy with intravenous administration of alteplase in combination with thrombectomy was demonstrated, the most common intra-arterial recanalization complications were pointed out. The early recognition of sudden complications with rapid decision-making for therapy modification during bridged reperfusion therapy is important for improving results of trearment.
