Background: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device (MicroVention, Tustin, CA, USA) has an excellent safety profile. While major complications such as device malposition and migration are rare, they can have serious consequences if not addressed promptly. Our case series describes the safety and efficacy of Amplatz goose neck microsnare device (Medtronic in Irvine, CA, USA) in endovascular retrieval of a detached WEB device.

Addressing aneurysms with a greater height than width using conventional WEB-sizing methods has proved ineffective due to the inherent configuration of the devices. To overcome this limitation, we propose an intuitive approach that involves swapping the width and height dimensions of the aneurysm to determine the appropriate WEB size.

Methods: Patients from a national stroke registry that underwent EVT selected with or without perfusion imaging (noncontrast computed tomography/computed tomography angiography) in the early (<6 hours) and late (6-24 hours) time windows, between October 2015 and March 2020, were compared. The primary outcome was the ordinal shift in the modified Rankin Scale score at hospital discharge.
