Safety and Efficacy of the Red43 Aspiration Catheter for Distal Medium Vessel Occlusion Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The optimal therapeutic approach for acute ischaemic stroke due to distal medium vessel occlusion remains uncertain. The use of endovascular therapy in this context is restricted by challenges in navigating distal vessels with available devices. This study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Red43 aspiration catheter (Penumbra, Alameda, CA) in patients experiencing stroke due to distal medium vessel occlusion.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on consecutive patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke at a single high-volume comprehensive stroke center from April 2023 to March 2024. Patients were included if they had an acute ischemic stroke with distal medium vessel occlusion and were treated using the Red
