Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Systemic anticoagulation is the standard treatment for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Several endovascular techniques have been described as salvage therapy for anticoagulation refractory CVST cases. We aim to evaluate the safety and feasibility of endovascular aspiration thrombectomy using the new generation, large bore suction catheters alone or in combination with stentriever devices for the treatment of CVST. METHODS We collected data on 16 consecutive patients with CVST who received endovascular aspiration thrombectomy at three large academic centers. Second generation reperfusion catheters were used as a large bore suction catheter and advanced to the affected sinus using a coaxial technique. Suction was performed using pump suction. At times, a stentriever was used as an anchor to facilitate advancing the suction catheter and to increase thrombectomy capabilities. RESULTS Median decade of age was the 50s and nine patients were women. Fifty percent of the patients had multiple sinuses involved. All patients received systemic anticoagulation prior to endovascular aspiration thrombectomy. The most common reason to pursue endovascular aspiration thrombectomy in CVST patients was deterioration of initial clinical status (10/16). The mean time from admission to endovascular aspiration thrombectomy was 1.5 days (range 0-6 days). Good recanalization was obtained in all patients. There were no major peri-procedural complications. Most patients were discharged to either home or a rehabilitation facility. CONCLUSION Endovascular aspiration treatment using large bore suction catheters for CVST is a safe and feasible approach for the treatment of anticoagulation refractory CVST. Heterogeneity of the clinical and radiological presentation requires further investigation to optimize patient selection before evaluating the efficacy of this technique in larger prospective studies.

Abstract
Lemierre's syndrome, a rare and almost forgotten cause of internal jugular vein thrombosis, is usually caused by an anaerobic head and neck infection. Left untreated, it can result in the release of septic emboli. We describe the case of a 42-year-old man who presented with fever and a tender, swollen neck mass. Computed tomography revealed an edematous parapharyngeal area and a compressed internal jugular vein. Despite antibiotic treatment, the patient's condition worsened, and a parapharyngeal fluid collection was drained 4 days later. Six weeks later, the patient returned to the outpatient department complaining of headaches, and he was found to have a tender, firm neck. He was readmitted, and magnetic resonance venography revealed a right internal jugular vein thrombosis that extended intracranially to the sigmoid sinus. He was anticoagulated for 6 months, and he remained well during outpatient follow-up. We examine the controversial roles that anticoagulation and thrombolysis play in Lemierre's syndrome and sigmoid sinus thrombosis, and we review the diagnostic options.
