Strokes are one of the leading causes of death in the aging Western society. Especially in elderly patients, strokes are frequently recurring events. An essential component of stroke management after acute therapy is to diagnose the cause of the stroke forsecondary prevention. More than 50 thrombi extracted via thrombectomy were examined by chargecompensated helium ion microscopy to investigate possible correlations between their morphology and the origin.
