Background Stent-retrievers used for mechanical thrombectomy are self-expanding tubular
stent-like devices with modified mesh structures for clot removal. Tigertriever is designed to …

Background and purpose Rescue stenting is used as a bailout technique during mechanical
thrombectomy for stroke. We performed a retrospective study analyzing outcomes of patients …

Background and purpose Different techniques regarding efficient utilization of thrombectomy
devices have been reported. Here, we described a novel technique named ADVANCE that …

BACKGROUND Mechanical thrombectomy is the most effective treatment for great cerebral
artery embolization within a set time window. Typically, an arteriogram does not show the …

Objective The best technique for the first attempt at mechanical thrombectomy for acute
ischemic stroke is a still matter of debate. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of a stent …

Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator had been the only approved
treatment for acute ischemic stroke since its approval in 1995. However, the restrictive time …

Background First-pass efficacy (FPE) is an established marker of technical and clinical
efficacy among mechanical thrombectomy (MT) techniques. It is unclear what the optimal …

Objective A direct-aspiration first-pass technique (ADAPT) in mechanical thrombectomy has
been described in recent studies as an efficacious strategy compared with using a stent …

Purpose To overcome the limitations of traditional mechanical thrombectomy (MT), including
catheter aspiration and stent retrievers, such as thrombus fragmentation or migration, we …
