Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: a systematic review

Conclusions
EMT is an effective salvage therapy for refractory CVST, with a reasonable safety profile. Chemical thrombolysis, in conjunction with EMT, did not appear to result in additional harm or benefit. Further analysis is warranted to determine predictors of success after EMT for CVST.
