Long-term successfully endovascular treatment of a complicated Takayasu’s arteritis with thrombectomy and stenting: a case report
This case is notable for the successful use of dual mechanical thrombectomy and stenting in the acute management of stroke in Takayasu arteritis without short- or long-term complications, a rare outcome not commonly reported in the literature. It highlights the potential efficacy of this approach in carefully selected patients, suggesting that postoperative immunosuppressive therapy may reduce the incidence of restenosis.
