I haven’t posted stroke thrombectomy selfies for a long time. Here is one from yesterday, with a new team. Basilar artery clot, occluding cerebellar arteries and causing severe dysarthria and ataxia. The clot was removed with a Sofia 6Fr aspiration catheter. Groin to reperfusion 14 minutes. Wire was used to access the right vertebral artery with a Neuron Max but from there no wire used with the Sofia. TICI-3. This morning the patient is back to normal.
