Direct Thrombus Retrieval Using the Reperfusion Catheter of the Penumbra System: Forced-Suction Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

Forced-suction thrombectomy is a simple modification of the PS. On the basis of our data, this technique allows safe and effective revascularization in acute large-vessel occlusion. Thus, for achieving the best outcome, the modified PS technique is proposed as a viable option for acute stroke management, either by itself or in conjunction with other devices or drugs.
