The Solitaire stent has been suggested as a promising device to perform intracranial thrombectomy in large vessels. We report our experience. ⋯ In this case series, thrombectomy using Solitaire stent in stroke related to large vessel occlusion appears to be feasible, safe and potentially effective. Randomized controlled trials are needed to demonstrate the superiority of thrombectomy alone or in combination with intravenous tPA over intravenous tPA alone in ischemic stroke patients with large intracranial arterial occlusion.
