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.

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

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Large Ischemic Stroke
Background and Objectives There is growing evidence for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with large ischemic core infarct and large vessel occlusion (LVO).

Background: Despite the well-established potent benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke, access to MT has not been studied globally. We conducted a worldwide survey of countries on 6 continents to define MT access (

Mechanical Thrombectomy in Stroke [PDF]
The introduction of neurological stroke units and of thrombolysis with the intravenous (IV) administration of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) have markedly improved the treatment of stroke. Five randomized trials of catheter-based interventional treatment of stroke with special stents were published in 2015.Recently published ...

Advances in mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke
Mechanical thrombectomy is a ground breaking treatment for acute ischaemic stroke caused by occlusion of a large vessel. Its efficacy over intravenous thrombolysis has been proven in multiple trials with a lower number needed to treat than percutaneous ...

Mechanical thrombectomy: Answering unanswered
The stroke physician community witnessed a major "breakthrough" in acute stroke therapeutics when the results of the first of the many positive trials, "MR CLEAN," were published showing a significant absolute benefit in favor of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO). Thereafter, the investigators of ESCAPE, SWIFT PRIME,

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 localization of the stent after release and whether a thrombus is captured or ...
