Mechanical Thrombolysis Using a Solitaire Stent

Abstract

Mechanical offers several advantages over drug thrombolysis: in particular, the haemorrhagic risk may be not significantly increased while working out the indications got intravenous drug thrombolysis. Available tools were in our hands inefficient, stiff and dangerous. We found a retrievable stent efficient and easy to handle for this purpose. This experience is described.

Endovascular Treatment of Acute Thrombosis of Cerebral Veins and Sinuses

“…In one case mechanical thrombus extraction with a nalization in cases of ATCVS led to attempts to use mechanical thrombus extraction, which allows a decrease in the doses of thrombolytic anticoagulant drugs, and, consequently reduces the risk of bleeding complications 17 . The method of mechanical thrombus extraction is very promising because sinus recanalization is achieved in a shorter time, although there is a possibility of migration of fragments to the right chambers of the heart and further to the pulmonary artery.…”
