Mechanical Thrombectomy of M2-Occlusion

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2015
There is growing evidence for the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in acute stroke patients with large-vessel occlusions in the anterior circulation. Although distal occlusions of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) can cause severe clinical symptoms, endovascular therapy is not considered here as the first choice. The aim of our study was to prove the

The “GP” Mechanical Thrombectomy Device

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2009
We present data concerning the extraction of clots using the newly invented "GP" mechanical thrombectomy device (MTD). Artificial and porcine clots of various lengths were used in plastic tube models of an artery. We investigate the pressures and times taken for clot extraction together with the volumes of fluid extracted.

Supplementing mechanical thrombectomy with neuroprotection [PDF]

Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery, 2016
The success of the 2015 stroke trials changed the indications for mechanical thrombectomy and the landscape of acute stroke care.1–5 A treatment we have always believed to be beneficial was shown, without doubt, to be effective. Systems of care have been designed around IA therapy for acute stroke. Procedural volumes have increased dramatically.

Patient Selection for Mechanical Thrombectomy

Clinical Neuroradiology, 2013
To evaluate the influence of tissue parameters as assessed by multimodal computed tomography and procedural parameters on clinical outcome after mechanical thrombectomy.A total of 301 consecutive patients with acute onset ischemic stroke were included in this study.

Mechanical thrombectomy for DVT

Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2004
Deep venous thrombosis is a common source of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Complications include pulmonary embolism and chronic post-thrombotic syndrome. Chronic post-thrombotic syndrome is characterized by extremity pain, edema, venous claudication, skin changes, and skin ulceration.

Recent advances in devices for mechanical thrombectomy

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2020
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) secondary to the occlusion of a large intracranial vessel (LVO) is a recognized public health problem. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has gained full acceptance: Class A, Level 1 in 2015 after the publication of numerous trials.

Indications for Mechanical Thrombectomy

2019
The past decade has seen a significant change in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). There has been a paradigm shift from a predominantly conservative approach to administration of intravenous thrombolytics and to endovascular thrombectomy. These treatment strategies have been backed by multiple randomized clinical trials.

The Evolution of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Stroke

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2016
The natural history of an acute ischemic stroke from a large vessel occlusion (LVO) is poor and has long challenged stroke therapy. Recently, endovascular therapy has demonstrated superiority to medical management in appropriately selected patients. This advance has revolutionized acute care for LVO and mandates a reevaluation of the entire chain of ...

Thrombolysis, Mechanical Thrombectomy and Percutaneous Aspiration Thrombectomy

2012
Over the past 25 years there have been many developments in the percutaneous minimally invasive dissolution and removal of thrombus from the vasculature. Available methods include lysis by drugs, which enhance the body’s native thrombolytic system, and those which involve physical maceration and/or removal of clot. This chapter will focus in particular
