EP50* Catheter tip distensibility substantially influences the aspiration force of thrombectomy devices

ConclusionsCatheter tip distensibility can induce a significant impact on ADAPT performance when retrieving a stiff clot larger than the device ID. Our findings might contribute to optimizing thrombectomy strategies.ReferencesSpiotta AM, Fargen KM, Chaudry MI, Turner R, Turk AS. ADAPT: a direct aspiration first pass technique.
