Abstract

Objective: Evaluating the initial results of the thrombectomy using stent Solitaire in patients with super acute ischemic stroke.
Method and result: From May 2012 to August 2013, 14 patients suffered from hyper acute ischemic stroke underwent the
thrombectomy treatment by using stent Solitaire. There are 5 males and 9 females with mean age 58.2 ± 7.9. Mean interventional time in DSA (digital subtraction angiography) room was 70.7 ± 40.2 mins. Ratio of revascularization was 80%. After 3 months, there are 9 patients with good recovery (64.3%), 3 patients with slow recovery (21.4%), and 2 mortalities (14.3%).
Conclusion: Using stent solitaire in thrombectomy for the super acute ischemic stroke patients is a new and potential
treatment including revascularization and clinical recovery results.
