1. A method for accessing a cerebral artery to treat acute ischemic stroke, comprising:

  • forming a transcervical puncture opening through a wall of a common carotid artery;

    inserting through the puncture opening an arterial access sheath system configured to be inserted directly into the common carotid artery without previously inserting an introducer sheath through the opening, the arterial access sheath system comprising;

    an arterial access sheath having an internal lumen extending between a proximal end region and a distal end region of the arterial access sheath;

    a dilator inserted through the internal lumen and extending distal from the distal end region of the arterial access sheath; and

    a first occlusion element coupled to a distal region of the arterial access sheath;

    providing access to the cerebral artery via the internal lumen of the arterial access sheath; and

    expanding the occlusion element of the arterial access sheath to occlude an artery selected from the group consisting of the common carotid artery and an internal carotid artery.
