Our study suggests that EVT in AIS patients with moderate/severe initial deficit due to CICAO led to high rate of recanalization at day 1, and a 40% rate of favorable outcome at 3 months. There was a high rate of procedural complication which is of concern. Randomized controlled trials assessing the superiority of EVT in patients with CICAO and severe deficits are needed.
