Retrieval of floating clot in the internal carotid artery: extracranial SAVE technique (eSAVE).

We present a strategy to retrieve the extracranial thrombus using the "stent retriever assisted vacuum-locked extraction" (SAVE) method, which initially was described for the intracranial vasculature. The extracranial SAVE (eSAVE) method could be an additional tool for the treatment of acute tandem lesions. PMID: 31358489 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
