Use of distal protection filter device for rescue mechanical thrombectomy for symptomatic free-floating thrombus of the cervical internal carotid artery.

CONCLUSION: Mechanical thrombectomy using a distal protection device is a novel and technically feasible approach for select cases of cervical intraluminal thrombus. This may represent a therapeutic option in select cases with high risk of anticoagulation and in the unusual subset of younger patients with minimal atherosclerotidc disease.
