Comparative StudyThrombectomy Using "Clamping Embolus with Semi-Retrieval" Technique in Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Embolization of thrombus fragments in new or downstream vascular territories is a potential adverse event in neurothrombectomy, requiring additional repeated thrombectomy attempts. This study aims to describe technical results of the thrombectomy with clamping embolus technique (TCET) method in acute ischemic stroke. This study also aims to evaluate the efficiency of mechanical thrombectomy by TCET, and to compare it with conventional stent retriever thrombectomy (CSRT). ⋯ The efficiency of mechanical thrombectomy by TCET in acute ischemic stroke might be improved compared with CSRT.
