Predictors of Emboli in Mechanical Thrombectomy for Anterior Circulation Stroke

CONCLUSION: MT with only a stent retriever, use of a larger microcatheter, and clot passage might increase the risk of emboli. In contrast, contact aspiration thrombectomy, use of BGC, early ballooning of BGC, and use of longer stent retrievers could reduce the chance of emboli.PMID:38441020 | DOI:10.2174/0115672026298727240219110134
