Endovascular Thrombectomy for a Progressive Stroke Patient With a High-Burden Carotid Free-Floating Thrombus.

Carotid free-floating thrombus (FFT) is a rare cause of acute ischemic events. The optimal management of carotid FFT remains unclear. The optimal and individualized management of carotid FFT should be determined based on the underlying etiology, clinical manifestation, and imaging characteristics. we reported a case with endovascular thrombectomy for a progressive stroke patient with a high-burden carotid free-floating thrombus.

Expanding the role of stent-retriever endovascular thrombectomy: a case series of free-floating thrombus.

Carotid artery free-floating thrombus (FFT) is a rare but clinically significant cause of embolic stroke. Treatment has historically been confined to carotid surgery or best medical therapy, with neither option proved to be superior. However, recent advancements in endovascular interventions have heralded a new age of innovative management strategies for vascular disease. We present three distinct cases of stroke secondary to carotid artery FFT, successfully treated with stent retriever endovascular thrombectomy.

Stentriever thrombectomy with distal protection device for carotid free floating thrombus: a technical case report.

We report the clinical details, imaging findings and management of a 45-year-old man who presented with recurrent transient ischemic attacks due to carotid free floating thrombus. Free floating thrombus of the carotid artery is a very rare condition with a high risk of distal embolic shower. The optimal treatment options are debatable and include medical management, surgical thrombectomy and endovascular thrombectomy. We describe the use of a stentriever with filter protection in the management of carotid free floating thrombus as a novel treatment option.
