Tailored Vessel-Catheter Diameter Ratio in a Direct Aspiration First-Pass Technique: Is It a Matter of Caliber? [INTERVENTIONAL]

CONCLUSIONS:
The aspiration catheter should be selected according to culprit vessel diameter. The optimal vessel-catheter ratio cutoffs were ≤1.51 for modified TICI ≥ 2b with an odds ratio of 9.2 and a relative risk of 3.2.
