Direct aspiration first pass technique for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke: initial experience at a European stroke center
Conclusions
The direct aspiration first pass technique proofed to be fast, effective, and safe. Promising revascularization results can be achieved quickly in more than 50% of patients using this technique as the firstline option. Nevertheless, stent retrievers are still warranted in approximately 40% of cases to achieve a favorable revascularization result.
