A case of microguidewire entrapment during mechanical thrombectomy for posterior cerebral artery occlusion
MGW entrapment is a rare complication in neuroendovascular therapy, particularly in mechanical thrombectomy. Removal of an entrapped MGW is associated with a risk of hemorrhagic complications. If the thrombus is hard and a J-shaped wire cannot be passed, the risk of MGW entrapment is high.
