Mechanical thrombectomy is now the standard of care for acute ischemic stroke patients with
large vessel occlusions, and can be performed with several devices and techniques. One of …

Ischemic stroke, a prominent cause of mortality and disability, is a combination of neuronal
and vascular disorders. Reperfusion techniques, such as administration of tissue …

Background and Purpose—Based on its mechanism, the use of balloon guide catheters
(BGCs) may be beneficial during endovascular treatment, regardless of the type of …

OBJECTIVE The role of the balloon guide catheter (BGC) has not been evaluated in contact
aspiration thrombectomy (CAT) for acute stroke. Here, the authors aimed to test whether the …

Background The treatment of acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) has
revolutionized in the last decade. We sought to compile the most relevant literature …

AIM To compare the efficacy between contact aspiration thrombectomy and stent retriever
thrombectomy in the treatment of acute embolic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion …

Backgroud The need for rescue treatment (RT) may differ depending on first-line modality
(stent retriever (SR) or contact aspiration (CA)) in endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). We …

Background Extensive evidence supports mechanical thrombectomy using stentrievers (SR)
for acute large vessel occlusion (aLVO). Aspiration is also used as a first pass or adjunct …

Stroke, also known as cerebral stroke or cerebrovascular accident, refers to acute ischemic
or hemorrhagic encephalopathy caused by a disturbance to cerebral blood flow. Ischemic …

Objectives This study aimed to assess the clinical usefulness of a direct aspiration first pass
technique as a first-line strategy for mechanical thrombectomy in posterior circulation …
