BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Mechanical thrombectomy with stent retrievers is now the
standard therapy for selected patients with ischemic stroke. The technique of A Direct …

BACKGROUND Endovascular thrombectomy is currently the standard of care for acute
ischemic stroke (AIS). Although earlier trials on endovascular thrombectomy were performed …

Background: The two most common approaches to thrombectomy of emergent large vessel
occlusion (direct aspiration and primary stent retriever thrombectomy) have been extensively …

Background The development of new revascularization devices has improved

Background and Purpose: Thrombectomy with stent retriever and direct aspiration are
equally effective in the endovascular treatment of anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke …

Background and purpose A direct aspiration first pass technique (ADAPT), involving the first‐
