Aspiration-Retriever Technique for Stroke with Large Bore Intermediate Catheter : A Single Center Experience

CONCLUSION: Although the clinical outcomes using the ARTS technique with a flexible large lumen distal access catheter performed as the frontline thrombectomy in patients with AIS were not significantly superior than those of other studies, this study showed a high rate of successful endovascular recanalization which was comparable to that of other studies. Therefore, ARTS using the SOFIA® catheter can be considered as the first choice of treatment for AIS due to large vessel occlusion.PMID:34503313 | DOI:10.3340/jkns.2020.0308
