A thrombus aspiration device is a medical instrument that is used to remove blood clots (thrombi) that may have formed in the arteries of the heart or brain. These devices work by suctioning the clot

The term stent retriever summarizes the epoch-making neurointerventional device of thrombectomy stent. The term stent comes from the British dentist Charles Thomas Stent. In 1916, Dutch orthopedic sur

At present, there are four main methods of coil detachment: thermal melting detachment, electrolysis detachment, mechanical detachment, and water detachment, among which electrolytic detachment is the

Fundamentals of Stent Retrieval The principle of modern stent retrieval is that under the guidance of imaging technology, the doctor passes a guide wire through the thrombus, inserts a microcatheter,

1. Stent thrombectomy technique When using a stent to retrieve thrombus, the operator needs to focus on how to increase the integration force between the stent and the thrombus, and at the same time p

1. Thrombectomy with stent retriever: The stent retrieval for mechanical removal of emboli in cerebral ischemia is a design similar to a wine bottle opener, and has weak chimerism for thrombus. Howeve
