Mechanical thrombectomy: Review
Large vessel occlusion stroke contributes to disability and mortality out of proportion to its incidence. Over time it was noted that intravenous thrombolysis alone was not sufficient for this stroke type.

Background Mechanical thrombectomy has been shown to reduce thrombus burden and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and to improve right ventricular (RV) function in patients with high-risk or intermediate-high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE).

Limb salvage using Pounce LP mechanical thrombectomy system after failed open and percutaneous thromboembolectomy [PDF]
Mechanical thrombectomy devices have limited efficacy in organized subacute and chronic thrombi and face challenges in small-caliber distal vessels. The Pounce LP Thrombectomy System (Surmodics) is a fully percutaneous, purely mechanical thrombectomy ...

In Which Cases Is Additional Direct Surgery Useful for Mechanical Thrombectomy Failure? [PDF]
Clinical evidence for adding direct surgery to the management of patients with large vessel occlusion after mechanical thrombectomy failure is limited. We investigated which patients would benefit from the additional surgery.

Mechanical thrombectomy in patients with stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and low baseline NIHSS score [PDF]
We sought to verify the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and low National Institute of Health stroke scale score at presentation.

Obesity and Mechanical Thrombectomy [PDF]
Background Obesity has been shown to have a positive mortality benefit in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, dialysis, those with rheumatoid arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and various wasting diseases. Studies for this mortality benefit in ischemic stroke patients are conflicting, and it has not been well studied

Background: Hemodynamically unstable high-risk, or massive, pulmonary embolism (PE) has a reported in-hospital mortality of over 25%. Systemic thrombolysis is the guideline-recommended treatment despite limited evidence.
