A 39-year-old man with left hemiparesis and dysarthria was transferred to our institution for IAT. The initial NIHSS score was 15. IV-tPA was not given because of delayed arrival (270 minutes). A, Initial right carotid angiogram, demonstrates proximal M1 occlusion. B, Recanalization (TIMI/TICI 3) is achieved after deploying a balloon-mounted stent (2.25 × 12 mm, Micro-Driver, Medtronic). The postoperative NIHSS score was 4.

A 77-year-old woman with acute left M1 occlusion. The initial NIHSS score was 17. IV-tPA was given. A, Initial left carotid angiogram demonstrates proximal M1 occlusion. B, A 2.75 × 12 mm FlexMaster (Abbott Laboratories) stent is deployed across the focal area of occlusion, and partial recanalization (TIMI/TICI 2A) is achieved. C, CT 7 hours after IAT demonstrates a large basal ganglia hematoma. The patient died with massive cerebral swelling.
