The effect of distal aspiration catheter position on collateral flow in mechanical thrombectomy - an in vitro study (2023)
Journal Article
Jakobek, W., Gravino, G., Nayak, S., Yang, Y., Ranjbar, J., & Roffe, C. (in press). The effect of distal aspiration catheter position on collateral flow in mechanical thrombectomy - an in vitro study. Interventional Neuroradiology, https://doi.org/10.1177/15910199231201518

Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy for ischaemic stroke is one of the most effective treatments. Despite the devices and techniques that have been developed, thrombi are not always successfully retrieved. The incidence of futile reperfusion after s...
