Aspiration Clot Removal by Mannual Compression of Common Carotid Artery for Acute Internal Carotid Occlusion: a Case Report / 신경중재치료의학

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.
