BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Catheter-vessel interactions during aspiration thrombectomy may vary depending on the vessel size, potentially affecting reperfusion outcomes. This study aimed to assess how vessel diameter influences procedural dynamics and reperfusion success rates by using a swine model with real-time, direct vessel visualization.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
We used an animal model of Yorkshire swine to evaluate catheter-vessel interactions during aspiration thrombectomy. The common caroti…
