Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the safety and effectiveness of placing a large bore guide catheter higher in the brain during endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for patients with large vessel occlusion.
- Researchers analyzed data from 426 patients across three stroke centers, comparing those with the guide catheter positioned in the petrous carotid area to those with it positioned lower.
- Results showed that higher positioning improved the first-pass effectiveness and reduced the time to achieve final recanalization, while the final success rates for reperfusion were similar in both groups.
