Fig. 2. (A) Preoperative left vertebral artery angiography (anterior–posterior view) revealed the basilar tip occlusion and left PCA was not contrasted. (B) We withdrawn SOFIAFLOW into the guiding catheter (ENVOY) (ADAPT technique). (C) Successful recanalization of basilar artery was obtained after thrombectomy (anterior–posterior view). (D–G) Postoperative head MRI and CT revealed new infarction in bilateral midbrain and thalamus medialis. ADAPT: a direct aspiration first-pass technique, CT: computed tomography, MRI: magnetic resonance imaging, PCA: posterior cerebral artery.
