What are the benefits of mechanical thrombectomy with stent retrievers?
The benefits of mechanical thrombectomy with stent retrievers are uncertain, but they may be reasonable for carefully selected patients with AIS in whom treatment can be initiated (groin puncture) within 6 hours of symptom onset and who have causative occlusion of the anterior cerebral arteries, vertebral arteries, basilar artery, or posterior cerebral arteries.
