Effect of Balloon Guide Catheter Utilization on the Incidence of Sub-angiographic Peripheral Emboli on High-Resolution DWI After Thrombectomy: A Prospective Observational Study

Conclusions: BGC-aided MT reduces the number of peripheral emboli in successful but incomplete reperfusion (TICI 2b and 2c). The effectiveness of this strategy therefore goes above and beyond that which can be demonstrated by the TICI score alone.
