Endovascular Stroke Therapy Focused on Direct Clot Aspiration Using Sofia Catheter in Acute Ischemic Stroke

CONCLUSION: The Contact aspiration approach with SOFIA catheters as a first-line device appears to be fast, safe, and effective. Our results were comparable to the findings of other series. In the case of insufficient response on contact aspiration, we could easily modify the SOFIA catheter approach for an additional stent retriever rescue treatment.PMID:35179729 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.34409-21.3
