    Occlusion of the tip of the basilar artery. Symptom onset >12 hours before angiography. NIHSS score 6. A, Antero-posterior view of left vertebrobasilar angiogram depicts thrombus in the distal basilar artery, residual flow to left posterior cerebral artery, occlusion of right posterior cerebral artery and right superior cerebellar artery. B, Thromboaspiration attempt–tip of Vasco35+ASPI (*) in the tip of basilar artery (lateral view). C, After unsuccessful thromboaspiration, deployment of a Solitaire FR 4/20. D, Distal stent markers in the right posterior cerebral artery. The proximal stent ends in the basilar artery. Note incomplete recanalization of the right posterior cerebral artery after stent placement. E, Complete recanalization after stent retrieval. F, Solitaire FR Device with captured thrombus (arrow). Time to recanalization 20 minutes.
