In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficiency of low dose intra- arterial tirofiban in mechanical thrombectomy of acute ischemic stroke patients to facilitate the reperfusion of distal vessel. We retrospectively analyzed 54 consecutive acute ischemic patients who underwent mechanical...
