Core Tip

Core Tip: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-supported total cerebral angiography, catheter thrombectomy and stent thrombectomy are very rare, and no similar cases have been reported on PubMed. We report a case of an 81-year-old woman who underwent whole cerebral angiography, basilar artery thrombectomy and stent thrombectomy in the posterior artery of the left brain after implantation of ECMO. This article describes in detail the preoperative evaluation of the patient's condition, the difficult operation and anticoagulation regimen during the operation, as well as the postoperative management. The results of this case verify the feasibility of cerebral angiography and thrombectomy in patients with ECMO implantation under intubation.
