[RESCUE TREATMENT IN ACUTE THROMBOSIS OF INTRACRANIAL STENTS].
Acute intrastent thrombosis is a potentially serious complication in intracranial stenting. It is essential to determine which therapy is the most suitable in intrastent thromboses.
CASE REPORT:
Female aged 58, the first case of acute thrombosis of an intracranial stent to be treated successfully by fibrinolysis after the implantation of a flow diverter device (Silk) in a fusiform basilar aneurysm.
CONCLUSION:
The administration of abciximab as a rescue treatment seems safe in cases involving the formation of acute intrastent thromboses.
