E-071 Mechanical thrombectomy for isolated posterior cerebral artery occlusion stroke: systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

incorporated a shear-thinning and viscosity-matched blood analog.Results All catheter combinations resulted in significant flow reduction in the affected middle cerebral artery (MCA) using standard 8F guide catheters in the L-ICA and 6F aspiration catheters in the L-MCA (figure 1C). However, Zoom-88 placement within the L-MCA resulted in the greatest flow reduction (real-time flow measurement verified with fluoroscopy, figure 1B). Conclusion The benchtop flow model provided physiologicallyrelevant vessel tortuosity, hemodynamics, and vessel material characteristics. The resulting quantification of the intracranial flow effects in the vessel branches during aspiration catheter placement provides valuable information regarding flow through the CW in the left-sided vasculature for comparison to placement in the right-side of the brain.
