(c, d) A guiding catheter was placed in the CCA and mechanical thrombectomy was attempted for the left M1 occlusion. (e) Angiogram post-mechanical thrombectomy showed left ICA C1 occlusion. (f) Angiogram after stenting of the left ICA occlusion showed a patent left C1 carotid stent and persistent occlusion of the left M1 origin. (g, h) Follow-up CTA at 24 hours showed recanalization of the left MCA and a patent left ICA stent.
