More work needed in MeVOs—but cyclic aspiration could be thrombectomy’s next...
Given the procedure’s long-proven effectiveness, present-day advances in stroke thrombectomy treatments tend to be relatively incremental. That said, Jan Gralla (University Hospital of Bern,...
Aspiration thrombectomy produces notably lower sICH and vasospasm rates versus stent...
Analyses of a large US registry comparing first-line stroke thrombectomy approaches for medium-vessel occlusion (MeVO) stroke have shown that direct aspiration is associated with...
Atrial fibrillation linked to reduced first-pass effect in MeVO stroke thrombectomy...
The presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) may reduce the likelihood of mechanical thrombectomy being successful at the first attempt in patients with acute ischaemic...
Stroke thrombectomy safe but not found to reduce disability versus standard...
Removing a clot blocking a medium- or small-sized artery in the brain via a mechanical thrombectomy procedure proved to be a safe treatment for...
“No significant difference” between aspiration and stent-retriever thrombectomy in medium vessel...
When utilised as a first-line technique for medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) stroke, aspiration and stent-retriever thrombectomy have demonstrated “no significant difference” in imaging-related or...
Is thrombectomy set to become the standard of care for medium...
With multiple large clinical trials currently underway to assess thrombectomy treatments in patients with medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) stroke, Johanna Ospel (Calgary, Canada) takes...
Thrombectomy appears comparable to medical management in treating ACA occlusion stroke
Mechanical thrombectomy appears to be a safe and technically feasible treatment option for ischaemic strokes caused by primary isolated anterior cerebral artery (ACA) occlusions...
DISTAL trial will elucidate non-dominant M2, M3 and PCA occlusions but...
A recent update on the DISTAL randomised controlled trial (RCT)—which was delivered at the Barts Research and Advanced Interventional Neuroradiology (BRAIN) conference (5–8 December...
