“…Balloon angioplasty, including a sliding balloon technique, was reported to achieve a rapid recanalization and increase the surface of the thrombus exposed to thrombolysis, especially in a case that had a long thrombosed lesion. 13 ) Philips et al 14 ) described the first use of wire in conjunction with microsnare for the treatment of CVT with good result. However, these techniques require that the system passes through the thrombosed segment, which was difficult in our cases.…”

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cause of stroke, and the first-line treatment is systemic anticoagulation. Patients unresponsive to standard therapy for CVT present with rapid neurological deterioration and require endovascular treatment. We encountered two patients with severe CVT who underwent endovascular treatment. In our cases, the thrombus was too hard and extensive to pass through using currently existing techniques. We performed the “digging through thrombus technique” using an aspiration catheter and stent retriever and achieved rapid sinus recanalization and favorable outcomes.
