Microsurgical embolectomy with superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass for acute internal carotid artery dissection: A technical case report

摘要

Dissection of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an important cause of stroke. Intravenous alteplase administration and mechanical thrombectomy have been strongly recommended for selected patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, the efficacy and safety of these treatments for ischemic stroke due to ICA dissection remain unclear. Here, we report a case of acute ICA dissection successfully treated by microsurgical embolectomy.
