O-004 A propensity score-matched comparative study of balloon guide catheters vs conventional guide catheters for mechanical thrombectomy with stenting in tandem strokes: comparison of 1st-pass effect, symptomatic ICH, and 90-day functional outcomes

Abstract

Introduction/PurposeExtensive clot burden in tandem strokes accounts for poor mechanical thrombectomy (MT) outcomes. Several studies have shown benefit of balloon guide catheters (BGC) in MT and carotid artery stenting. Given...
