Abstract
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a potentially fatal condition. The current first line of treatment for sinus thrombosis is anticoagulation. Endovascular treatment is an alternative for patients whose symptoms progress despite adequate medical management. Mechanical thrombectomy is required in the setting of a large clot burden. Unfortunately, the conventional technique of intraarterial thrombectomy with the use of a stent retriever and/or aspiration is not very effective in sinus thrombosis because of a larger clot burden compared to an intracranial artery. Herein we describe our endovascular approach of mechanical thrombectomy in sinus thrombosis using Copernic 8 × 80 RC (Rene Chapot) balloon and aspiration catheter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
