P-006 Does clot density predict the success of first-pass clot aspiration in thrombectomy for stroke?

ConclusionClot density may help guide thrombectomy approach for stroke. In our study higher HU values correlated with better recanalization but required more passes. Higher HU values indicating greater clot density correlated with worse post-operative outcomes. Future studies may be required to confirm the findings and gather further evidence to optimize thrombectomy approaches for stroke management based on clot densityDisclosures K. Joshi: None. J.
