Comparison of Subacute Vascular Damage Caused by ADAPT versus Stent Retriever Devices after Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Histological and Ultrastructural Study in an Animal Model

Further investigation is required to better understand whether these alterations could have chronic consequences.Intervent Neurol 2018;7:501 –512
