Self-sensing with hollow cylindrical transducers for histotripsy enhanced aspiration mechanical thrombectomy applications [PDF]
arXivTo address existing challenges with intravascular mechanical thrombectomy devices, a novel ultrasound-enhanced aspiration approach is being developed to mechanically degrade clots using cavitation. This method employs standing waves within a mm-scale hollow cylindrical transducer to generate high pressures sufficient to perform histotripsy on clots ...

The role of friction forces in arterial mechanical thrombectomy: a review [PDF]
arXivMultiple clinical trials have demonstrated the superiority of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in treating acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Stent retriever (SR) and aspiration techniques are the standard methods for removing occluded emboli, with evolving technologies improving MT efficiency. However, procedural success remains uncertain.

A dual-task mutual learning framework for predicting post-thrombectomy cerebral hemorrhage [PDF]
arXivIschemic stroke is a severe condition caused by the blockage of brain blood vessels, and can lead to the death of brain tissue due to oxygen deprivation. Thrombectomy has become a common treatment choice for ischemic stroke due to its immediate effectiveness. But, it carries the risk of postoperative cerebral hemorrhage.

Clot Treatment via Compression- and Shear-Induced Densification of Fibrin Network Microstructure: A Combined in Vitro and In Silico Investigation [PDF]
arXivBlood clots, consisting of red blood cells (RBCs) entrapped within a fibrin network, can cause life-threatening conditions such as stroke and heart attack. The recently developed milli-spinner thrombectomy device presents a promising mechanical approach to removing clots by substantially modifying the microstructure of the blood clot, resulting in up ...
