Compliance with ethical standards
:
: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: All procedures performed in the studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.
: Regarding the patients’ consent, all images were completely anonymized and the exact patients’ genders and ages are not shown (nor in the manuscript nor in the demographics table). In our centre, we carry out a large number of mechanical thrombectomies on a very extensive population. Although we perform a clinical control at least 3 months after the procedure, there are many patients who over the years have lost their contact. These circumstances, together with the fact that 22 of the 60 patients died in the first 3 months after the procedure, do not allow informed consent to be obtained.
