The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rescue stenting (RS) following MT failure in patients with BAO.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Data were collected from the Endovascular Treatment Key Technique and Emergency Work Flow Improvement of Acute Ischemic Stroke (ANGEL-ACT) prospective registry in China. Patients who underwent MT for BAO with failure of recanalization were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into the RS and non-RS groups. Clinical and laboratory findings, procedural details, and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Overall, 93 patients with acute BAO were analyzed. The RS group included 81 (87.1%) patients, and the non-RS group included 12 patients. A modified treatment in cerebral infarction (mTICI) score of 2b\/3 was achieved in 75 (92.6%) patients in the RS group. Compared with the non-RS group, the RS group had a significantly higher rate of successful recanalization and favorable clinical outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days post-procedure, 0\u20133: 16.7 vs. 51.9%, respectively; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.023) without an increase in the rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and a significantly lower mortality rate (58.3 vs. 18.5%, respectively; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.006). Furthermore, the use of a glycoprotein IIb\/IIIa inhibitor improved the rate of recanalization of the target artery without increasing the rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Permanent stenting appears to be a feasible rescue modality when MT fails and might provide functional benefits in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to BAO.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2021.739213","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,30]],"date-time":"2021-09-30T04:41:03Z","timestamp":1632976863000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Intracranial
