Background and Purpose—To describe the safety and effectiveness of a self-expanding and
fully retrievable stent (Solitaire AB; ev3 Inc, Plymouth, MN) in revascularization of patients …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Patients with stroke unsuitable for IV thrombolysis may be
considered for endovascular revascularization, particularly when baseline imaging suggests …

Introduction The endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke has been revolutionized in
the past years by the introduction of new devices for mechanical thrombectomy. Several …

The Merci Retrieval System™(Concentric Medical, Mountain View, CA, USA) was approved
in 2004 for restoring blood flow in patients experiencing an acute stroke who are otherwise …

Background and Purpose—Large vessel occlusion in ischemic stroke is associated with a
high degree of morbidity. When intravenous thrombolysis fails, mechanical thrombectomy …

Background and Purpose—Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy may be used during
acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel intracranial occlusion. First-generation MERCI …

Abstract Background and Purpose: Stent retrievers are currently displacing 'classical'
thrombectomy devices for recanalization in acute ischaemic stroke. The aim of our study was …

Purpose In recent years, mechanical thrombectomy using Solitaire stent retrieval has been
tried for treating acute ischemic stroke with a large artery occlusion. We systematically …

Rationale Early reperfusion in patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke is critical,
especially for patients with large vessel occlusion who have poor prognosis without …

Background and Purpose—We hypothesized that permanent stenting may be a rescue
treatment for stentriever-failed anterior circulation large artery occlusion. We compared the …
