Objective: We have experienced two cases of recanalization using EmboTrap II in patients with cervical internal carotid artery dolichoarteriopathy.
Case Presentation: Case 1, 36-year-old man, developed embolic stroke of undetermined sources, with occlusion of the left internal carotid artery in a 360-degree loop, which was initially treated with closed-cell stent retrievers and finally recanalized by EmboTrap II. In Case 2, 73-year-old female, cerebral embolism was associated with infective endocarditis, and the left internal carotid artery with S-shaped tortuous neck was occluded and recanalized after a single pass by EmboTrap II.
Conclusion: The EmboTrap II is a two-layered and segmented design that allows for effective acute revascularization of tortuous internal carotid arteries due to dolichoarteriopathy.
