  • Title: Delayed mid-basilar artery stenosis following paediatric acute mechanical thrombectomy: a rare complication from a rare case.
    Author: Mukherjee S, McCullagh H, Goddard T, Patankar T.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2019 Aug 02; 12(8):. PubMed ID: 31377714.
    Abstract:
    There is limited literature on the use of mechanical thrombectomy with stent-retrievers in paediatric stroke, especially in the posterior circulation. We report a paediatric case of acute basilar artery occlusion successfully treated by mechanical thrombectomy using stent-retriever but complicated by delayed basilar artery stenosis. This case emphasises prudent selection of thrombectomy device and meticulous long-term follow-up when employed in paediatric stroke.
