Key result
Endovascular thrombectomy successfully achieved TICI 2b reperfusion and improved left hemiplegia in a patient with middle cerebral artery occlusion caused by a pulmonary vein stump thrombus following left upper lung lobectomy.
Why the study?
Thrombus formation in the pulmonary vein stump following lung resection can cause rare, debilitating cerebral infarctions in large intracranial vessels.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Endovascular thrombectomy can be an effective and immediate treatment for acute ischemic stroke caused by the rare complication of thrombus formation in the pulmonary vein stump following lung lobectomy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support endovascular thrombectomy for rare post-lobectomy pulmonary vein stump stroke; leaves open need for prospective data before practice change.
Shiozaki et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Middle cerebral artery occlusion (n=1). Endovascular thrombectomy was evaluated on Reperfusion and clinical improvement. Endovascular thrombectomy successfully achieved TICI 2b reperfusion and improved left hemiplegia in a patient with middle cerebral artery occlusion caused by a pulmonary vein stump thrombus following left upper lung lobectomy.
