Abstract

Clinical Neurology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Neurosciences & Neurology Science & Technology Surgery
Acute concomitant occlusions of the extracranial internal carotid artery and intracranial vessels frequently require multiple passes with stent-retrievers for mechanical thrombectomy. Due to the large clot burden associated with these occlusions, their response to intravenous thrombolysis is poor. We herein report a successful case of evacuating a massive clot (>14 cm) in a single-pass using a stent-retrieval device.
