BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Large-bore catheters allow mechanical thrombectomy in
ischemic stroke by engaging and retrieving clots without additional devices (direct aspiration …

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

Introduction The development of new revascularization devices has significantly improved
recanalization rates and time to reperfusion. A direct aspiration first-pass (ADAPT) technique …

Background and purpose: Mechanical thrombectomy using an aspiration catheter (AC) is
widely performed in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. AC …

Introduction Various large-bore catheters can be employed for manual aspiration
thrombectomy (MAT); clinical differences are rarely explored. Methods Prospectively …

Background A direct aspiration first pass technique (ADAPT) is an efficient, safe, cost-
effective, and fast thrombectomy technique. Objective To evaluate anatomical and clot …

Background Thromboembolic occlusion of distal branches in anterior and posterior
circulation may produce severe clinical deficits. A Direct Aspiration at first Pass Technique …

Introduction A Direct Aspiration First Pass Technique is one of the most widely used
techniques in mechanical thrombectomy. Aspiration catheter size plays a major role in the …

Background Evidence is mounting that first-pass complete recanalization during mechanical
thrombectomy is associated with better clinical outcomes in patients presenting with an …

Objective The best technique for the first attempt at mechanical thrombectomy for acute
ischemic stroke is a still matter of debate. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of a stent …
