Preventing Embolization to a New Vascular Territory: An in Vitro Study Exploring Alternative Techniques for Dual-Stent-Retriever Cerebral Thrombectomy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: Embolization of thrombus to a new vascular territory (ENT) is a feared and important complication of cerebral thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke. This study explores the utilization of 2 simultaneous stent retrievers to prevent ENT, as well as its alternative setups. Methods: test, respectively. Results: = 0.002). All other possible comparisons across the different techniques did not yield any statistically significant differences. Conclusion: Overall, the results suggest that applying dual stent retrievers performs better than the single-stent-retrieval technique in preventing ENT and achieving a single-pass procedure. Among all techniques, combining dual stent retrievers with aspiration through a distal catheter performed best.
