4:21 PM Abstract No. 360 Impact of catheter size, balloon occlusion, and presence of posterior communicating artery during aspiration from internal carotid artery: stroke model of middle cerebral artery (M1 segment) using 3D printing cerebrovascular flow model

To clarify the impact of following factors during suction from large-bore catheter at internal carotid artery (ICA) using 3D printing circulation model simulating stroke due to middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. 1. Catheter size, 8F vs. 9F 2. Balloon occlusion (BO) at cervical ICA, (+) vs. (-) 3. Presence of posterior communicating artery (PCOM), (+) vs. (-).
