Thrombectomy Comparable to Medical Management for Strokes

Caption

(A–C) Axial perfusion CT (time-to-maximum, >6 seconds) at admission shows a bilateral deficit (arrows in A) in the territory of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA; ie, azygos variant) because of a distal occlusion of the A3 segment (white arrow, sagittal view in B). Stent retriever thrombectomy (black arrow, sagital view in B) was performed with full reperfusion shown on the final digital subtraction angiography image (arrow, sagittal view in C). (D) Follow-up at 24 hours shows no sign of infarction in the ACA on the axial contrast-unenhanced CT image.
