Direct Carotid Puncture for Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Literature Review and a Single-Center Experience

Results from the literature review and our experience illustrate DCP as a feasible approach for EVT. The role of DCP as a bailout is iterated despite a higher complication risk, which may be imperative in low-volume stroke centers. Further studies to evaluate the role of DCP as a primary vascular access technique for EVT in selected cases could be explored.
