BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous studies have successfully created blood clot
analogs for in vitro endovascular device testing using animal blood of various species …

Background Translational research on clot composition may be advanced by the use of clot
analogs for the preclinical evaluation of mechanical thrombectomy devices. This work …

Background Untreated ischemic stroke can lead to severe morbidity and death, and as such,
there are numerous endovascular blood-clot removal (thrombectomy) devices approved for …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recently we published a novel method of thrombus
preparation for use in a swine model for evaluation of thrombectomy designs. The clot (fibrin …

Background Clot mechanical properties are influenced by composition and the arrangement
of components within the clot. This work investigates the effects of platelet-driven contraction …

Background As access to patient emboli is limited, embolus analogs (EAs) have become
critical to the research of large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke and the development of …

Objective Especially since the establishment of mechanical thrombectomy as part of
standard stroke therapy, artificial thrombi have become important in the training of …

Ischemic cerebral stroke is an increasingly treatable entity due to the recent developments in
intravascular clot extraction, with recent research indicating that the efficacy of the chosen …

Background and Purpose—Mechanical thrombectomy may involve multiple attempts to
retrieve the occluding thrombus. This study examined the composition of thrombus …

Background and purpose There is still much debate whether bridging-therapy [intravenous
thrombolysis (IVT) prior to mechanical thrombectomy (MT)] might be beneficial compared to …
