Suction thrombectomy using a microcatheter as a salvage method for acute distal occlusion during cerebral aneurysm embolization: A case report.

The aneurysm coiling process presents a risk of thromboembolic complications, mostly in patients with ruptured aneurysms, given the fact that they cannot receive antiplatelet therapy. Management strategies include medical anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy, intra-arterial thrombolysis, and mechanical thrombectomy using direct aspiration first-pass technique or stent retrievers. We report our own experience of using an Excelsior SL-10 Microcatheter (Stryker, Fremont, California, USA) with an internal diameter of 0.
