Successful thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke in an infant supported with a single ventricle assist device

Acute ischaemic stroke is rare in infancy and presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in patients supported with mechanical circulatory devices. We describe an infant with CHD supported with a single ventricle assist device who developed an acute ischaemic stroke and underwent successful endovascular thrombectomy. This case highlights the feasibility of thrombectomy in select paediatric patients on mechanical circulatory support and underscores the importance of multidisciplinary decision-making.
