Comparison of Solitaire thrombectomy and Penumbra suction thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by basilar artery occlusion

Abstract

The two thrombectomy devices were associated with similar recanalization rates and clinical outcomes in patients with AIS caused by BAO. However, Penumbra suction thrombectomy seemed to allow more rapid and complete recanalization than Solitaire thrombectomy.
