Fig. 1

Schematic drawing of mechanical thrombectomy using SR and MAT. a The SR stent should be deployed where it can completely cover the occluded segment. For complete coverage, the guidewire must be blindly passed through the occluded segment. b Blind wire passage for mechanical thrombectomy using SR has a risk of vascular perforation. c, d When MAT was performed, the guide wire and large-bore aspiration catheter are located at the proximal end of the clot, which minimizes the risk of vascular injury.
