ABSTRACT
Stent retriever thrombectomy (SRT) is one of the most effective methods for the recanalization of acute basilar artery occlusion (ABAO). The proatlantal intersegmental artery (PIA) is a rare carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomosis. Recognition of this rare form of anastomosis is particularly important for the rapid establishment of positive blood flow in patients with ABAO. In this case, the patient had a rare, left type 1 PIA. The right vertebral artery (VA) was tenuous and did not enter the cranium. We performed a thrombectomy of the ABAO by inserting a catheter via the type 1 PIA. The complete recanalization of basilar artery (BA) flow was achieved following two stent retractions; however, the patient eventually died of brain stem hemorrhage.
