Late Spontaneous Recanalization of Chronic Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Early spontaneous recanalization of the middle cerebral artery in acute ischemic phase artery is not uncommon, whereas the late spontaneous recanalization of chronic occluded artery is a very rare phenomenon and exact incidence and the timing of this event have not been quantified. We present a case in which late spontaneous recanalization of long-lasting middle cerebral artery occlusion occurred in the absence of surgical, endovascular and thrombolytic treatments.

Spontaneous recanalization of atherosclerotic middle cerebral artery occlusion
RATIONALE Intracranial vascular atherosclerotic occlusion is one of the most common causes of ischemic stroke world wide. The involvement of large intracranial vessels, in particular, the middle cerebral artery, is usually associated with unfavorable outcomes in patients. Spontaneous recanalization of atherosclerotic occlusion is relatively rare. PATIENT CONCERNS The first patient was a 43-ye...
متن کاملSpontaneous recanalization after complete occlusion of the common carotid artery with subsequent embolic ischemic stroke.
INTRODUCTION Acute carotid artery occlusion carries a high morbidity and mortality. Acute angioplasty and stenting is a feasible option with little known about the long term outcome. Limiting factor for this approach is hyperperfusion syndrome or hemorrhagic infarction. Spontaneous early or late recanalization for extracranial vessel is in the range of 5% -30%, with no well defined clinical out...
متن کاملSpontaneous recanalization of the occluded internal carotid artery. A report of two cases.
Spontaneous recanalization of the occluded internal carotid artery (ICA) is more frequent than is generally believed. The timing of spontaneous recanalization remains unclear but it may occur as either an early or a late event. The aim of this case report is to emphasize the importance of spontaneous recanalization and its consequences. From September 2008 to November 2010 we prospectively foll...
متن کاملStent-assisted mechanical recanalization for symptomatic subacute or chronic middle cerebral artery occlusion.
To assess the feasibility and short-term effects of treating patients with subacute or chronic middle cerebral artery (M1) occlusion by stent-assisted mechanical recanalization. Six patients with cerebral arteries occlusion underwent surgery. Six cerebral arteries occlusion in 5 patients were successfully recanalized. On postoperative day 1, four patients' symptoms were relieved and two patient...
متن کاملEndovascular recanalization for chronic symptomatic middle cerebral artery total occlusion
The optimal treatment of chronic middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion is unclear. Angioplasty and stenting may be an alternative treatment for patients with recurrent ischemic symptoms despite medical therapy. Two patients with chronic right MCA occlusion successfully treated with stenting are reported, together with their long term follow-up to illustrate the feasibility of endovascular reca...
