Overview of Mechanical Thrombectomy Techniques [PDF]
Abstract The recently reported superiority of mechanical thrombectomy to intravenous thrombolytics has jettisoned endovascular intervention into the forefront of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) management. These successes have allowed a chance for recanalization for patients not meeting the strict eligibility criteria for intravenous ...

Acute ischaemic stroke interventions: large vessel occlusion and beyond
Care for acute ischaemic stroke is one of the most rapidly evolving fields due to the robust outcomes achieved by mechanical thrombectomy. Large vessel occlusion (LVO) accounts for up to 38% of acute ischaemic stroke and comes with devastating outcomes ...

To Tube or Not to Tube? The Role of Intubation during Stroke Thrombectomy. [PDF]
In the 10 years since the FDA first cleared the use of endovascular devices for the treatment of acute stroke, definitive evidence that such therapy improves outcomes remains lacking.

Vascular tortuosity in endovascular mechanical thrombectomy
Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy effectively removes occlusive thrombi from the arterial lumen; however, there is little literature supporting the relevance of vascular geometry on surgical outcomes. Critical vessel characteristics including the degree of angulation and tortuosity influence the ability to advance stent ...

Thrombolysis and thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke [PDF]
The likelihood of disability-free recovery after acute ischemic stroke is significantly improved by reperfusion either by intravenous thrombolytic drug treatment or with endovascular mechanical thrombectomy in selected cases.

Association between time to reperfusion and outcome is primarily driven by the time from imaging to reperfusion [PDF]
Background and Purpose A progressive decline in the odds of favorable outcome as time to reperfusion increases is well known. However, the impact of specific workflow intervals is not clear.; Methods We studied the mechanical thrombectomy group (n=103 ...

Simulation of a mechanical thrombectomy device based in the use of self-expandable stents for the blood clots extraction [PDF]
Recently, we have presented some studies concerning the analysis, design and optimization of one experimental device developed in the UK - GPTAD - which has been designed to remove blood clots without the need to make contact with the clot itself ...

Prediction of final infarct volume from native CT perfusion and treatment parameters using deep learning [PDF]
CT Perfusion (CTP) imaging has gained importance in the diagnosis of acute stroke. Conventional perfusion analysis performs a deconvolution of the measurements and thresholds the perfusion parameters to determine the tissue status.
