Description
Summary:Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a relatively uncommon but serious cerebrovascular disease. Anticoagulation therapy is the preferred treatment. In recent years, significant progress has been made in venous sinus mechanical thrombectomy. However, there is no consensus on mechanical thrombectomy in clinical practice. Issues such as how to bridge thrombectomy with anticoagulation therapy, the definition of severe CVT, and the determination of the mechanical thrombectomy "time window" need further exploration. This paper reviews the progress on anticoagulantion therapy and mechanical thrombectomy for CVT in recent years, and introduces the concept of the "time window" for mechanical thrombectomy, with the aim of providing some inspiration for future clinical research and practice.
