Active push deployment technique improves stent/vessel-wall interaction in endovascular treatment of acute stroke with stent retrievers

Conclusions The APD technique improves apposition of the tested devices to the vessel wall. The widening effect comes at the cost of minimal shortening of the devices. Our clinical experience shows that using the APD technique to deploy the Trevo device is effective and safe.
