Treatment of acute ischemic stroke has been recently improved with the introduction of endovascular mechanical thrombectomy, a minimally invasive procedure able to remove a clot using aspiration devices and/or stent-retrievers. Despite the promising and encouraging results, improvements to the procedure and to the stent design are the focus of the recent efforts. Computational studies can pave the road to these improvements, providing their ability to describe and accurately reproduce a real procedure. A patient with ischemic stroke due to intracranial large vessel occlusion was selected and after the creation of the cerebral vasculature from computed tomography images and a histologic analysis to determine the clot composition, the entire thrombectomy procedure was virtually replicated. As in the real situation, the computational replica showed that two attempts were necessary to remove the clot, as a result of the position of the stent retriever with respect to the clot. Furthermore, the results indicated that clot fragmentation did not occur as the deformations were mainly in a compressive state without the possibility for clot cracks to propagate. The accurate representation of the procedure can be used as an important step for operative optimization planning and future improvements of stent designs.
