Rise and restore: the role of cerebral angiogram with mechanical thrombectomy in the case of cerebral vascular accident and a wake-up stroke: a case report
This case highlights that effective management requires not only understanding available therapeutic options but also knowing when their application is most appropriate, regardless of the level of invasiveness. This principle is central to optimizing patient outcomes and exemplifies the thoughtful application of clinical judgment-in the words of a colleague: "the art of practicing medicine."
