Findings was changed:

Interventional cerebral angiography with mechanical thrombectomy.

Left ICA occlusion which was recanalised using aspiration device. Triaxial access used to deploy guiding catheter, Ace 5max reperfusion catheter, and 3max reperfusion catheter into the ICA occlusion and then using aspiration device (ADAPT technique) to aspirate the thrombus.

Further occlusion in left M1 (annotated), possibly migrated from left ICA after aspiration. Simultaneous stent retriever and aspiration technique used.

The clot was successfully retrieved and with no immediate complications.
