A "Radial Ready" Tricoaxial Setup for Anterior Circulation Mechanical Thrombectomy: Technical Aspects and Preliminary Results.

Purpose: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the standard of care for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). The choice of a transradial approach (TRA) for anterior circulation LVOs is still debatable; the use of a specific tricoaxial system could help mitigate numerous issues related to transradial MT.

Materials And Methods: From November 2022 to November 2023, 22 patients underwent TRA-MT for anterior circulation LVOs, both as first-line and rescue from transfemoral approach (TFA) failure, with the same triaxial setup consisting of a 7F introducer sheath, 7F guide catheter, and aspiration catheters ranging from 5.

Treatment of a ruptured fetal-type posterior communicating aneurysm with a combined approach using the new contour neurovascular system.

Fetal-type posterior communicating artery (FPCom) aneurysms are associated with higher rates of recurrence after endovascular treatment than aneurysms at other locations. We report the case of a patient with a subarachnoid haemorrhage and ruptured right-sided FPCom aneurysm. The patient underwent acute endovascular treatment with application of a novel combined approach-partial coiling to protect the dome and occlusion of the neck with a new flow-disrupter, endosaccular device, Contour (Cerus Endovascular)-as a stable, single-step treatment to prevent rebleeding in the acute stage and long-term potential recurrences.
