- Abstract
We report our initial experience of using a microcatheter for contact aspiration of acute distal occlusions for recanalization. Endovascular technique and a case using Excelsior XT-27 microcatheter are presented. After manual suction within distal middle cerebral artery segments using a 50-ml syringe, instant and complete recanalization was obtained. Microcatheter suction thrombectomy using a 50-ml syringe can be considered a feasible treatment option for acute distal small artery occlusions.
