Stanford's milli-spinner removes tough clots by shrinking them, not tearing them, with a 90 percent first-try success in ...

Researchers at Stanford have developed a new technology for removing blood clots that is more than twice as effective as ...

When treating an ischemic stroke – where a clot is blocking the flow of oxygen to the brain – every minute counts.

It was uncertain if direct endovascular thrombectomy (ET) was superior to bridging thrombolysis (BT) for patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large‐vessel occlusions. We aimed to examine real ...

Notably, procedure- and device-specific risks of this complication are poorly investigated. In this study, we evaluate the detectable frequency of intra-arterial polymer coating delamination among ...

The NeVa NET 5.5 thrombectomy device (Vesalio, Nashville, Tennessee, USA) is the first stent retriever featuring an integrated clot micro-filtration system, aiming to enhance first pass efficacy and ...

New mechanical thrombectomy devices enabled with RF (Patent No.: US 62/172,043) were built and tested on human blood clots in vessels ex vivo. Test results showed that the RF-mechanical thrombectomy ...

Expanding care to stroke victims is one of medtech’s biggest opportunities, and startup Artedrone is developing a microrobot system that can navigate to blood clots for autonomous mechanical ...

HE STOOD WITH ME IN THIS SAME HALLWAY AND TOLD ME AN EMERGENCY PROCEDURE CALLED A THROMBECTOMY WAS THE ONLY HOPE TO SAVE SEAN’S LIFE. ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS OUR TWO YOUNG SONS LOSING THEIR DAD.
