Healthy 46-year old woman with hormonal contraception suffered from severe acute hemispheral stroke caused by occlusion of medial cerebral artery. Percutaneous intervention using Solitaire® stent-retriever was started within 30 min of arrival. Complete thrombectomy was followed by full recovery of neurological deficit within several hours. Neither thrombolysis nor general anesthesia was used.
