Initial clinical experience with a novel mechanical thrombectomy device-the ThrombX retriever.

Background And Purpose: The ThrombX Retriever is a novel mechanical thrombectomy device that adjusts the distance between two mesh segments to axially hold thrombus. A post-market study assessed safety and performance in acute ischemic stroke patients with large artery occlusion.
