Mechanical endovascular thrombectomy in the left SFA by using the Merci retrieval system. A, Photograph shows the superficial position of the left SFA (arrow), allowing easy resection. B, Anteroposterior angiogram of the left SFA (arrow). C, 3D reconstruction of the SFA (arrow). Note the size (inner diameter, 2.7–2.9 mm) of this artery, which reproduces the characteristics of proximal intracranial arteries, such as the MCA or basilar artery. D, Photograph shows the extension of the Merci retrieval system inserted into the vessel lumen.
