The general approach to acute ischemic stroke - (1) assess your patient for clinical suitability for EVT and then (2) look at your imaging - still applies to ischemic stroke due to PCA occlusion. For example, if the deficit is only a quadrantanopia in an elderly patient who already does not drive, t...

The data from these studies suggest that EVT may improve recovery, including visual outcomes, compared to medical management. However, these...
