Effect of distal access catheter tip position on angiographic and clinical outcomes following thrombectomy using the combined stent-retriever and aspiration approach

摘要

Purpose Mechanical thrombectomy using the stent-retriever in conjunction with the distal access catheter may improve the rates of successful revascularization and clinical outcomes in patients with acute stroke. We aimed to compare two different thrombectomy techniques, according to the position of the distal access catheter tip in the combined stent-retriever and aspiration approach.
