CLOTBUST-Hands Free: Initial Safety Testing of a Novel Operator-Independent Ultrasound Device in Stroke-Free Volunteers [Clinical Sciences]

Conclusions— Our novel device was well tolerated by stroke-free volunteers and did not cause any neurological dysfunction nor did it affect blood brain barrier integrity. The safety and efficacy of the device are now being tested in stroke patients receiving intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator in phase II–III clinical trials.
