a Initial diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed acute infarction in the right basal ganglia. b Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (T2 sequence) at 5 months showed sequelae with substantial loss in the right basal ganglia.

At admission, an acute magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed acute ischemic stroke on diffusion-weighted imaging placed in the right basal ganglia area congruous for occlusion of the lenticular striate arteries (Fig. 1a).
a Digital subtraction angiography of the right internal carotid artery before thrombectomy showed occlusion of the right M1 (main) medial cerebral artery. b Successful thrombectomy with complete recanalization (TICI grade 3) of the right medial cerebral artery.

Digital subtraction angiography in local and twilight anesthesia confirmed unchanged occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery (angiography before thrombectomy, Fig. 2a). Trevo stent retriever inserted through the right femoral artery was used, and recanalization (thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) grad 3) was achieved after the first attempt 6 h after symptom onset (angiography after cloth removal, Fig. 2b).
