Core Tip

Core Tip: The reason for acute carotid stent thrombosis (ACST) is multifactorial. Proper patient selection, normative anti-platelet treatment, and perfect technical detail may decrease the incidence of ACST. Several treatment strategies such as thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, and open surgery may be options for the treatment of ACST. Limited data have shown carotid endarterectomy is effective with favorable results.
