Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Several studies have demonstrated that simultaneous treatment with two stentrievers (STs) as rescue treatment is very effective, with high recanalization rates even in this group of patients where other revascularization techniques have failed. There has been no observed increase in hemorrhagic complications. Recently, a prospective study has been published where treatment with two ST has been shown to be effective and safe if used as a first-choice treatment (not as rescue) with a successful recanalization rate (eTICI 2c/3) after the first pass of 69%. These results have been reinforced after the publication of a randomized study that confirms, in vitro, the superiority of using two ST over one.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The use of a double stent retriever has been proposed as a safe and effective technique. The investigators hypothesized that the use of double stentriever primary could lead to higher first pass effect rates and better outcomes compared to single stentriever primary.

Our goal is to develop a research project to provide additional information on the potential benefits of the simultaneous double stent approach primarily in stroke patients receiving endovascular treatment.

A randomized study to compare the efficacy of double primary stentriever versus single primary stentriever.
