Abstract

Acute bilateral intracranial large artery occlusion is a rare occurrence that can lead to bihemispheric ischemia and potentially devastating functional consequences. We discuss two cases that initially presented with unilateral symptoms and did not show signs of bilateral arterial occlusions on the initial MRI imaging. This became evident while performing the angiographic study at the beginning of the endovascular procedure. Both patients were successfully treated with bilateral mechanical thrombectomy as a complement to intravenous thrombolysis. We describe our method of simultaneous sequential bilateral thrombectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of successful endovascular therapy in bilateral ischemic stroke.
