Endovascular management of extracranial occlusions at the hyperacute phase of stroke with tandem occlusions
ConclusionsCervical occlusion with coils and thrombectomy with stent-retrievers may be relevant to prevent early embolic recurrence in cervical occlusions with intraluminal thrombus. Stent-retrievers should be further assessed as a first-line approach, since delayed stroke may occur following occlusion with coils. Medical treatment alone may be sufficient when no cervical intraluminal thrombus is present, the Willis polygon is effective, and the cervical occlusion can be crossed easily to perform the intracranial thrombectomy.

Partial thrombosis of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm prior to endovascular coiling, with intra-procedural distal thrombus embolization.
We describe a case of partial thrombosis of a 7 mm anterior communicating artery aneurysm, which embolized to the right callosomarginal artery in the brief time interval between two sequential diagnostic angiograms performed as part of elective endovascular coiling, and before any instrumentation had been advanced into the intracranial circulation. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of aneurysmal thrombus embolization observed angiographically in near real time. PMID: 28944708 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
