Event Description
|
A journal article was submitted for review titled ¿posterior circulation tandem occlusions: classification and techniques¿.The study conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database and identified 17 patients with posterior circulation tandem occlusions who underwent mechanical thrombectomy between 2014 and 2019.A resolute onyx coronary drug eluting stent was implanted in a patient during this study.The patient which presented to the emergency department (ed) after an episode of right arm and leg weakness and confusion.Magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of the brain showed a left medial temporal lobe diffusion weighted imaging restriction and right extracranial vertebral artery (va) irregularity.The next morning the patient became comatose, hypotensive, tachycardic and hypoxic.Motor exam showed extensor posturing in all extremities.Nihss was 36.Ct angiography (cta) showed basilar artery (ba) thrombosis.The patient was taken for emergent revascularization.The right femoral artery was accessed.A non-medtronic catheter was advanced into the arch and the right subclavian artery was accessed.The right va was found to be occluded which was revascularized using a non-medtronic balloon.Proceeding angiographic runs revealed a basilar artery occlusion (bao), which was treated with aspiration thrombectomy using a non-medtronic catheter.Further angiographic runs showed bilateral posterior cerebral artery (pca) occlusions.The right pca occlusion was treated with aspiration alone, while the left pca occlusion was treated with 2 passes of a non-medtronic stent retriever and suction from non-medtronic catheter.Final angiographic run showed complete revascularization.Finally, a resolute onyx 4.5 × 18 mm drug-eluting stent was placed at the right va origin.The patient was bolused with aggrastat and plavix 300 mg prior to stent deployment.An aggrastat drip was also started but was discontinued 6h after the patient received the plavix loading dose.An mri the next day showed multiple infarcts in the pons and cerebellum.The patient received a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube and was discharged to rehabilitation with dysphagia, dysarthria, and left-sided hemiparesis.
