[Rescue treatment in acute thrombosis of intracranial stents].
BACKGROUND
Acute intrastent thrombosis is a potentially serious complication in intracranial stenting. It is essential to determine which therapy is the most suitable in intrastent thromboses.


METHODS
Female aged 58, the first case of acute thrombosis of an intracranial stent to be treated successfully by fibrinolysis after the implantation of a flow diverter device (Silk) in a fusiform basilar aneurysm.


CONCLUSIONS
The administration of abciximab as a rescue treatment seems safe in cases involving the formation of acute intrastent thromboses.
