Fig 2. Graph depicts total cumulative complete grade 3 AOL recanalization at each 15-minute interval for the EKOS Primo sonography microcatheter (n = 29) and the standard microcatheter in IMS II (n = 14). Standard microcatheter recanalization data points at 60 and 120 minutes are also depicted. IMS I data are incomplete at 60 minutes, with 23 confirmed control arteriograms. Sixty- and 120-minute IMS I data points closely approximate the line of IMS II microcatheter recanalization. The open circle emphasizes an early equivalence of standard microcatheter to the sonography (US) microcatheter. The greatest recanalization effect (>20%) is within the first 15 minutes of microcatheter placement.
