Sitting down with NeuroNews at the BRAIN conference (1–3 December 2025, London, UK), Alex Solich (Stockholm, Sweden) takes a closer look at the concept of Science-Based Aspiration Thrombectomy (S-BAT)—outlining the benefits this approach carries in terms of optimised procedural planning, technique selection and, potentially, improved clinical outcomes.
In this video, Solich discusses the relevance of the four ‘pillars’ of S-BAT—physics, vessel sizing, flow control and time—before positing how this approach may impact the future of aspiration thrombectomy in stroke care.
