Preliminary experience with 088 large bore intracranial catheters during stroke thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Thromboaspiration technology continues to evolve at an accelerated pace with increasing availability of larger and more navigable devices. Herein, we provide our initial experience with the intracranial navigation of a large-bore (.088" inner diameter) catheters during mechanical thrombectomy (MT).

Methods

Retrospective review of consecutive large vessel occlusion stroke patients in whom a TracStar™ or Zoom 88™ (Imperative Care, Campbell, CA) large-bore catheters were utilized in MT. The primary outcome was successful reperfusion (eTICI2b-3) at the end of the procedure. Safety measures included procedural complications and rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.

Results

Five patients (age,∼50-85 years; baseline NIHSS,17-23) were treated. T
