Early technique switches “should be contemplated” following failed thrombectomy attempts
A retrospective analysis including data from close to 3,000 stroke patients has concluded that early changes in mechanical thrombectomy strategies may be associated with...
No-reflow in clinical studies: Causes, rates and implications for patient outcomes
In a guest article for NeuroNews, Adnan Mujanovic (Bern, Switzerland) discusses a relatively unknown but potentially significant factor in stroke patients experiencing poor clinical...
Is it time to consider a paradigm shift from mechanical thrombectomy...

First-pass effect or rule of three? Definition of procedural success remains...
While a number of companies in the neurovascular space have become increasingly focused on the ‘first-pass effect’ in mechanical thrombectomy treatments, many major clinical...
Increased experience associated with shorter procedure times and better reperfusion rates...
Increasing levels of experience in performing mechanical thrombectomies have been associated with shorter procedural duration and better reperfusion rates in a multicentre study—with the...
