RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Stentriever thrombectomy with distal protection device for carotid free floating thrombus: a technical case report JF BMJ Case Reports FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP bcr2016012904 DO 10.1136/bcr-2016-012904 VO 2017 A1 Giragani, Suresh A1 Balani, Ankit A1 Agrawal, Vikas YR 2017 UL http://casereports.bmj.com/content/2017/bcr-2016-012904.abstract AB We report the clinical details, imaging findings and management of a 45-year-old man who presented with recurrent transient ischemic attacks due to carotid free floating thrombus. Free floating thrombus of the carotid artery is a very rare condition with a high risk of distal embolic shower. The optimal treatment options are debatable and include medical management, surgical thrombectomy and endovascular thrombectomy. We describe the use of a stentriever with filter protection in the management of carotid free floating thrombus as a novel treatment option.
