The treatment protocol was approved by the Bioethical Committee of Jagiellonian University.On admission to the Stroke Unit the following tests were performed\: head computed tomography and perfusion computed tomography and computed tomography angiography of the intra\- and extracranial arteries\; general examination with the assessment of NYHA heart failure scale\; panel of biochemical tests in accordance with the recommendations of ESO \(including the glucose level\)\; assessment of neurological status by the NIHSS scale\; body temperature and blood pressure measurement. Among all patients following risk factors were identified\: hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation and obesity. Digital subtraction angiography was performed after mechanical trombectomy. Fasting glucose level, platelet count and complete blood count ware tested on the first post\-procedural day. Control computed tomography scan of the head was performed 24 hours after treatment. During the hospitalization the following tests were performed\: carotid arteries ultrasound, transcranial Doppler ultrasound, transthoracic echocardiography, 24\-hour monitoring of the heart rhythm, and if indicated, transesophageal echocardiography and blood tests for hypercoagulopathy and the presence of autoantibodies. On discharge, neurological deficit was assessed in NIHSS scale and own five\-point scale assessing of the early results of treatment. Three months after stroke onset neurological deficit was assessed using the Barthel Index."]
