Comparative StudyTheoretical considerations and in vitro results for the development of percutaneous transcatheter balloon embolectomy.
To prove the feasibility of performing percutaneous transcatheter embolectomy using a funnel-shaped catheter tip and balloon embolectomy catheters. ⋯ Our results indicate that percutaneous embolectomy with balloon embolectomy catheters is feasible. However, further research is necessary before the final catheter design is chosen.
