Initial clinical experience with a novel mechanical thrombectomy device-the ThrombX retriever.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The ThrombX Retriever is a novel mechanical thrombectomy device that adjusts the distance between two mesh segments to axially hold thrombus. A post-market study assessed safety and performance in acute ischemic stroke patients with large artery occlusion.

Methods

A single-arm prospective multi-center study enrolled patients at 5 European Centers. Patients had a symptomatic large-artery occlusion of the intracranial Internal Carotid or the Middle Cerebral Artery, M1 segment. The primary outcome measure was the modified treatment in cerebral infarction (mTICI) score, on the immediate post-procedure angiogram after up to three device passes. Key secondary outcome measures were the mTICI score after a single pass and functional independence, defined as an
