Recently, an episode of the first season of the American drama “Monday Morning” introduced a Merci intracranial embolization device to remove an intracranial venous sinus thrombus and save the patient, which aroused the interest of the majority of medical fans of the American drama, the script is said to be written by a neurosurgeon, and many of the episodes in it are taken from real clinical cases in the United States. Three months ago, our neurosurgery vascular team performed a heavy intracranial sinus embolism case, using a Solitaire stent to remove the thrombus from the patient’s sinus and restore blood flow to the sinus. We have also used this device for the treatment of acute intracranial artery embolism. Acute intracranial artery embolism is a common clinical condition, and most of the thrombi can come from patients with a history of atrial fibrillation or carotid plaque and carotid vascular entrapment, resulting in coma, hemiparesis, and other symptoms of cerebral infarction. This intracranial artery thrombus retrieval procedure must be performed within 6-8 hours after the onset of acute cerebral infarction symptoms, through microcatheter technology along the lower limb arteries through the arterial channels in the body to reach the intracranial arteries, and then the thrombus retrieval device will “catch” the clot blocking the blood vessel to restore blood vessel patency. At present, the recanalization rate of intracranial arterial embolism after acute cerebral infarction is 30-40% with intravenous thrombolysis, 40-50% with arterial + intravenous thrombolysis, and 90% with mechanical embolization. Therefore, the advanced intravascular embolization device can fully recreate the exciting episodes of American dramas!
