  • Title: Combined use of stent-retriever and aspiration thrombectomy for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis involving the straight sinus: A case report.
    Author: Taniguchi S, Harada K, Kajihara M, Fukuyama K.
    Journal: Interv Neuroradiol; 2017 Dec; 23(6):605-608. PubMed ID: 28944707.
    Abstract:
    Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is generally treated with anticoagulation therapy, however, endovascular therapy is considered for refractory cases. A 42-year-old woman presented with a progressive disturbance in consciousness, and diagnosed CVST in the straight sinus (SS). Recanalization of SS was achieved by emergent thrombectomy using aspiration catheter and stent-retriever system, and her level of consciousness improved immediately. The combined use of them aided the removal of the thrombus located in the SS.
