BACKGROUND: To describe preliminary experiences and the procedural details of retrieval thrombectomy using a self-expanding and fully retrievable Solitaire stent (ev 3 Inc., CA, USA) in @entity64 ( @entity64 ) @entity1 with large @entity432 . METHODS: Eight @entity1 with @entity64 were treated by mechanical thrombectomy using a self-expanding, fully retrievable stent (Solitaire, ev 3 Inc., CA, USA). The stent was deployed to cover the whole intra-arterial clot and then it was slowly retrieved while occluding the @entity7662 ( @entity7662 ) with a balloon guiding catheter. Additionally, continuous negative pressure was applied through the balloon guiding catheter with a specially designed gun device. Occlusion sites were M1 in six cases including one combined supraclinoid @entity7662 occlusion and the other combined M2 occlusion, M2 in 1 case and one basilar artery top. RESULTS: Complete recanalization was achieved in all @entity1 . Procedure time was 45 min or less in seven cases and 70 min in one case. @entity999 occurred in one case in which the balloon guide catheter was not used. Only in this case was intraarterial fibrinolytics infusion necessary. There was no post-operative @entity932 . CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, retrieval thrombectomy with the Solitaire stent was a simple and effective method for reopening large cerebral arteries in @entity64 @entity1 .
