We gained access from the right groin, and angiography confirmed a total occlusion of the proximal left M1 segment (Fig. 1a). The following angiography showed full recanalization of the left middle cerebral artery (Fig. 1b). A brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan performed on the same day was completely normal, with no signs of infarct on diffusion-weighted imaging (Fig. 1c).
