Deployment of the device distally to the thrombus (A). Retrieval of the device leads to dislocation of the thrombus into a proximal side branch (B–D; arrow). Fixation through engagement of the proximal tip of the thrombus by the cage enables retrieval from the side branch without embolization (E–H). During retrieval no shearing off of the thrombus from the device into the side vessel occurred.
