E-053 Mount everest technique (MET) with the novel tenzing inserts and super large bore catheters - Technique and initial experience

ConclusionThe Mount Everest Technique (MET) combines the technological novelty of the 0.106" Base Camp, 088" HiPoint and matching self-centering Tenzing insert catheters to navigate these super large bore catheters to the face of the clot without needing to cross them with large microcatheters or wires. Thereafter based on the "Law of Conservation of Matter", the retraction of the Tenzing insert while applying a suction force at the HiPoint catheter results in the "ingestion" of the clot in toto. This technique and catheter combination have led to 100% TICI 3 recanalization with 80% first pass success in our initial experience.Disclosures F. Massari: None. J. Singh: None. A. Kuhn: None. V.
