To the era of better stent retrievers! bit.ly/3SP5Epx The NeVa NET 5.5 (Vesalio) thrombectomy device features integrated clot micro-filtration allowing for high first-pass efficacy while limiting distal emboli in new territories Roland Schwab #Thrombectomy


Another arrow in the quiver for overcoming ledge-effect and tortuosity preventing distal access in stroke thrombectomy as Jan-Karl Burkhardt, MD et al describe the "slingshot" technique with balloon-guided assisted tracking bit.ly/3HG45rS #Thrombectomy #StrokeCare


Device development requires adequate testing models and this new "live cadaver" model provides a new tool for accurate device testing bit.ly/43ZinLo Luis Savastano M.D. Ph.D. #NeurovascularResearch #TransradialAccess #CadavericModel
