Endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke complicated with systemic light chain amyloidosis: Two case reports.

Systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL) is a non-proliferative plasma cell disease characterized by the deposition of fragments of immunoglobulin light or heavy chain in tissues. There has been no relevant report on the treatment of vascularization during the acute stage of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) complicated with AL. This paper presented two cases of AIS complicated with AL that were treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The combination of aspiration thrombectomy and IVT might be feasible for patients with AIS complicated with AL.
