score at discharge of 5.5. We did not find intraprocedural complications and two symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhages were recorded postoperatively. Discussion The SNACE technique is a simple, fast, safe, and effective method that has reduced the requirements to multiple passes and avoiding the use of expensive materials to reach the occlusion site. SNACE is a replicable approach without additional training requirements.
Background Distal vessel occlusions represent about 25-40% of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), either as primary occlusion or secondary occlusion complicating mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large vessel occlusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
