Abstract
Cervical occlusion with coils and thrombectomy with stent-retrievers may be relevant to prevent early embolic recurrence in cervical occlusions with intraluminal thrombus. Stent-retrievers should be further assessed as a first-line approach, since delayed stroke may occur following occlusion with coils. Medical treatment alone may be sufficient when no cervical intraluminal thrombus is present, the Willis polygon is effective, and the cervical occlusion can be crossed easily to perform the intracranial thrombectomy.
