title: Mechanical thrombectomy in two patients using the Solitaire AB device in cerebral aneurysms during endovascular coil embolisation.
abstract: Two men, 52 years and 54 years of age, presented with subarachnoid haemorrhage as a result of ruptured cerebral aneurysms. Both patients were treated with endovascular coil embolisation. Thromboembolic complications occurred in the middle cerebral artery during the procedure, and local thrombectomy was performed for recanalisation. Digital subtraction angiography revealed the immediate restoration of flow after mechanical thrombectomy with a stent in both patients. The Solitaire AB stent (ev3, Plymouth, MN, USA) can rapidly, safely, and effectively retrieve clots from the middle cerebral artery during endovascular embolisation.
