Article Title: Retrograde semi-retrieval technique for combined stentriever plus aspiration thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic representation of the retrograde semi-retrieval technique for thrombectomy. (a) First, the Navien catheter can be advanced as distally as possible to provide better support for the deployment of a stentriever. Then, during the unsheathing of the Solitaire device, the aspiration catheter can be pulled to a lower position in order to achieve full expansion of the stent. (b) Next, the aspiration catheter was pushed to cross the ostia of the anterior cerebral artery, and the retriever device was conversely re-sheathed by the Navien catheter from the proximal end to the distal end in order to increase the efficiency of grasping the clot and shortening the distance to withdraw the stent.

(a) Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed an occlusion of the distal internal carotid artery. (b) A 6 mm × 30 mm Solitaire stentriever was deployed fully, and partial recanalisation was demonstrated. (c) Before the retrieval of the complex of the stent and clot, the stent was conversely re-sheathed by the Navien catheter. (d) Post-procedure DSA showed complete restoration of the blood flow of the left internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery.
