Partial (SAVE) versus Complete (Solumbra) Stent Retriever Retraction Technique for Mechanical Thrombectomy: A Randomized In Vitro Study

Abstract

Clot characteristics may influence the efficacy of the thrombectomy technique. In occlusions caused by soft clots, complete retrieval into the distal aspiration catheters achieved higher rates of first-pass recanalizaton and lower embolization.
