Brief Summary:
Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has become the standard of care for large vessel occlusion in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). During clot-retrieval, simultaneous balloon inflation within the internal carotid artery offers transient proximal blood flow arrest, potentially preventing distal clot migration or embolisation to new vascular territories. Retrospective studies indicate that this may improve complete vessel recanalisation rates and may translate to improved functional independence. However, lack of high-quality evidence demonstrating the efficacy of simultaneous balloon inflation has led to clinical equipoise with heterogeneity of practice globally.
