Abstract |
Acute occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) bifurcation, so-called "carotid T occlusion," extends from distal portion of the internal carotid into the proximal segments of the middle and anterior cerebral arteries. This carotid T occlusion has been associated with low recanalization rates and poor prognosis. An 83-year-old man underwent successful transarterial suction thrombectomy using manual compression of ipsilateral common carotid artery for the treatment of acute carotid T-occlusion.
Herein, we report this case and discuss the technical aspect. |
Key Words:
