RBCs rich thrombus incorporated onto the stent retriever (Case 2 in Table 1). (a) Optical micrograph. (b) Collage of SEM micrographs. (c) Cross section of a thrombus segment, showing a compact core, porous periphery and fibrin outer layer. Remnants of vascular tissue are visible at the thrombus surface (arrows). (d) High magnification view of the compact core composed of polyhedrocites. (e) Fibrin strings are found in between thrombus segments. (f) White blood cells and platelets are attached to the fibrin strings (higher magnification view of (e), region marked with arrow).
