Recanalization and Remarkable Outcome after Subocclusive Thrombus: A Case Report

We present the case of an 83-year-old man with multiple vascular risk factors and recent cardiac surgery who presented with a severe left middle cerebral artery (MCA) syndrome due to a subocclusive thrombus. Intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator was contraindicated given the patient's recent surgery, and endovascular therapy was deferred given improvement in symptoms.
