Abstract
Stent-retriever thrombectomy for atherosclerotic acute occlusion of cerebral arteries is difficult. We experienced three patients with middle cerebral artery atherosclerotic occlusion who achieved successful recanalization with the combined use of aspiration thrombectomy devices and cerebral angioplasty balloons. The combination is feasible in terms of smooth delivery of the balloon catheter.Entities:
