Fig 3. Retrieval of the 10-mm thrombus. A, The distal device (upper and lower markers <) enters the thrombus. B and C, Approximately half of the thrombotic material is carried within the device; the other half is either pushed sideways to the microcatheter (*) or proximal to the device and is prone to collateral flow (D). E, The supplementary proximal aspiration sucks the entire thrombus from the device into the balloon catheter (open arrow) to achieve total recanalization.
