B, Angiographic view documenting complete vessel occlusion (arrow) achieved by injecting thrombus through the guiding catheter. C, Angiographic view confirming restoration of flow due to stent-assisted recanalization following deployment of the Wingspan. Arrows denote proximal and distal ends of the stent.
