Endovascular clot retrieval in extensive cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST): a videographic report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Urgent anticoagulation, despite the presence of acute cerebral hematoma, improves survival as well as the prognosis. Surgical decompression is a life-saving procedure and is required in a selected group of patients with considerable mass effect and elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Endovascular thrombectomy is a novel approach to reduce the clot burden, achieve venous patency, and reduce ICP.

CVST is the presence of blood clot in the dural vein. This happens when a thrombus forms in the brain’s venous sinus that stops blood from flowing out of the brain [1]. Such patients present with a variety of symptoms [1,2]. The most severe and prognostically poor form of presentation of CVST is the venous hemorrhagic infarction (VHI) [2]. However, CVST is a rarer cause of cerebral infarction c...
