Treatment of an Acute Common Carotid Artery Occlusion Using a Large-Bore Aspiration Thrombectomy Device
An 86-year-old man presented with acute ischemic stroke in the left middle cerebral artery territory due to complete occlusion of the left common carotid artery (CCA) extending into the left internal and external carotid artery up to the carotid terminus (C7) (Fig 1). The etiology was surmised to be cardioembolic, in the setting of atrial fibrillation with subtherapeutic anticoagulation (international normalized ratio, 1.8). After presentation, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score increased from 4 (baseline) to 8 points; mechanical recanalization by percutaneous thrombus aspiration was planned.

Successful endovascular recanalization of a partially occluded basilar artery fenestration.
Authors: Meinel TR, Pult F, Gralla J, Arnold M, Bassetti C, Jung S Abstract A 76-year-old man with a history of arterial hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, dyslipidemia, family history of cardiovascular events, prestroke and overweight presented 90 minutes after acute onset of right-sided sensorimotor hemiparesis, hemiataxia and dysarthria (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) 9/42). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a pontine ischemia and MR angiography showed a thrombus in the middle to distal portion of the basilar artery. Owing to the location, an occlusion of one lumen of a fenestrate...
