INTRODUCTION. Cerebrovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death and the leading cause of disability worldwide, including our country. The usefulness and effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy is accepted by the specialized medical community and the failure to consistently consider this resource to patients who are candidates for it has constituted a delay in our medical practice. The experience with patients with ischemic stroke and lateral sinus venous thrombosis is reported. OBJECTIVE. Report the experience of the results obtained in the treatment of ischemic stroke and intracranial venous thrombosis by mechanical aspiration thrombectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three cases of patients with neurological symptoms related to ischemic stroke and cerebral venous thrombosis were presented, who were treated by mechanical thrombectomy between december 2018 and November 2019 using the first step direct aspiration technique. The Stroke Scale of the National Institute of Health was applied. RESULTS. The occlusion occurred in the territory of the middle cerebral artery and intracranial superficial venous. Recanalization was satisfactory in all three cases, there were no complications and immediate neurological improvement after the procedure, without sequelae. DISCUSSION. ischemic stroke and venous thrombosis are pathologies of multiple etiology within neurological vascular pathologies, mainly atherosclerotic, cardioembolic or prothrombotic conditions, however, when dealing with acute events, they required immediate resolution by means of neurointerventional mechanical techniques, to avoid serious sequelae and permanent and even the death of the patient. CONCLUSION. The use of modern neurointerventional techniques, especially the first step aspiration technique, has given a greater chance of recovery and survival to those who suffer from acute thromboembolism in cerebral vessels, both arterial and venous, and it was demonstrated by the level of evidence that in trained hands they are the only treatment alternative for occlusion of major vessels.
