Article Synopsis
- The study reports on the initial use of the Tigertriever 13 device for treating acute strokes caused by distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVO) in a two-center experience.
- A total of 43 patients underwent mechanical thrombectomy, achieving an 84.4% success rate in reopening blocked vessels and a favorable clinical outcome for over half of the patients at discharge.
- Despite high success rates, the study noted a higher incidence of hemorrhagic events compared to other procedures, indicating the need for further research to establish better treatment guidelines for DMVOs.
