Brief Summary

Mechanical thrombectomy of acute ischemic stroke caused by major vessel occlusion of the anterior circulation has become an accepted procedure in the last decade. Recent IAT modalities have been classified as suction aspiration,stent retrieval and combination modality. The suction aspiration technique is limited by the possibility of breaking the entire thrombus during the IAT. In addition, the stent retrieval technique is also limited because of thrombus migration during stent removal from an acute-angled artery as in the case of a carotid siphon. According to recent development of suction catheter, investigators expected that suction aspiration will prevent breaking the entire thrombus during the IAT. Investigators will evaluate the radiological and clinical outcome of suction aspiration technique in comparison with combination technique in the large artery occlusion feasible to both suction aspiration and combination technique prospectively in a randomized trial.
