RESUMO
Free-floating thrombi of the common carotid artery (CCA) are a very rare cause of ischemic stroke. To date, only a few reports have been described in the academic literature. Revascularization is indicated due to the risk of thromboembolic disease and hemodynamic-related stroke syndromes. Medical treatment typically includes anticoagulation and, in some circumstances, open surgical thrombectomy is an additional option. Although rarely described in the literature, endovascular thrombectomy is a viable treatment alternative in these patients.
