Re-endovascular recanalization for acute middle cerebral artery reocclusion after surgical embolectomy.
Journal of Neurointerventional Surgery 2014 April 2
A 62-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation underwent burr hole trephination for a chronic subdural hematoma. Two days later the patient suddenly presented with motor dysphasia and slightly decreased motor power. Time of flight MR angiography revealed distal M1 occlusion without diffusion restriction. Stent-assisted mechanical thrombectomy was attempted but failed. Post-procedure MRI illustrated a small area of diffusion restriction within the peri-insular and parietal areas. Immediate surgical embolectomy was performed but reocclusion of M1 was documented in the postoperative angiography. Stent-assisted revascularization with a Solitaire stent was conducted and immediate restoration of blood flow was observed. The patient's motor weakness and motor dysphasia recovered fully. Re-endovascular intervention can be beneficial in selected patients for acute middle cerebral artery reocclusion after surgical embolectomy when endovascular thrombectomy fails.
