To describe our single-center experience of mechanical thrombectomy (MTE) via a direct carotid puncture (DCP) with regard to indication, time metrics, procedural details, as well as safety and efficacy aspects. ⋯ MTE via DCP in these highly selected patients was reasonably safe, fast, and efficient. It thus represents a valuable technical extension of MTE, especially in patients with difficult access.
