Novel Human Acute Ischemic Stroke Blood Clot Analogs for In Vitro Thrombectomy Testing [INTERVENTIONAL]

CONCLUSIONS:
Red blood cell–rich, fibrin-rich, and platelet-rich clot analogs that mimic clots retrieved from patients with acute ischemic stroke were created in vitro. Differing retrieval outcomes were confirmed using in vitro thrombectomy testing in a subset of clots.
