Double Stent Retriever Technique for Mechanical Thrombectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mechanical thrombectomy using a double stent retriever technique has recently been described for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, but its efficacy and safety are not well-established.

Purpose

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate reports of the use of a double stent retriever technique during the endovascular treatment of patients with ischemic stroke.

Data sources

The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched to identify all studies (clinical trials, cohort series, and case reports) investigating the utility of a double stent retriever technique for the treatment of stroke. The study is reported in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD4202348269
