Aortic and supra-aortic arterial tortuosity and access technique: Impact on time to device deployment in stroke thrombectomy.

CONCLUSION: CTA-based ASMETS can predict time between arterial puncture and deployment of the mechanical thrombectomy device in stroke patients, irrespective of the technique used to catheterise the target ICA. This could inform the operator in preparing appropriate strategies to overcome challenging vascular anatomy in patients undergoing MT. PMID: 33215558 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
