Abstract
Balloon guide catheters (BGCs) can be used adjunctively during mechanical thrombectomy (MT) procedures to arrest blood flow and improve reperfusion in the treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS). Two recent meta-analyses reported significantly higher rates of 90-day good functional outcomes (modified Rankin Score (mRS) 0-2), in procedures utilizing MT+BGC vs. MT alone. This analysis aims to evaluate the potential economic impact of achieving improved functional outcomes associated with adjunctive BGC use.
