Background: A number of large bore guide catheters are currently available for use in neuroendovascular surgery. This study represents a multi-institutional retrospective series of patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy with the use of a TracStar Large Distal Platform (LDP) guide catheter and assessed its performance in vivo in 107 patients.
Objective: To review a multi-institutional initial experience with the TracStar LDP guide catheter during mechanical thrombectomy for emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO).
Methods: A retrospective review was performed at two level one stroke centres to include all patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy and had the TracStar LDP guide catheter used during the intervention.
Results: The TracStar LDP guide catheter was successfully used in 107 mechanical thrombectomies. In anterior circulation ELVO, the guide catheter advanced into the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery in 62.6% (62/99) of cases. In posterior circulation cases, the guide catheter advanced to the basilar artery in 87.5% (7/8) of cases. A thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2b or greater reperfusion was obtained in 90.7% (97/107). No complications occurred related to the TracStar LDP guide catheter. Three complications occurred with aspiration catheters including a small dissection that did not require further intervention and fracturing of the AXS Catalyst 6 catheter tip in two cases. No thromboembolic events occurred.
Conclusions: The TracStar LDP large bore guide catheter is safe and effective at navigating the tortuous vascular anatomy often encountered during mechanical thrombectomy for stroke. The flexible distal and stiffer proximal components provide a good combination of navigability and support for use in neuroendovascular interventions.
