Thrombus Branching and Vessel Curvature are Important Determinants of MCA Trunk Recanalization with Merci Thrombectomy Devices

摘要

BackgroundDeterminants of successful recanalization likely differ for Merci thrombectomy(MT) and intra-arterial pharmacologic fibrinolysis interventions. While the amount of thrombotic material to be digested is an important consideration for chemical lysis, mechanical debulking may be more greatly influenced by other target lesion characteristics.
