Preclinical Evaluation of the WAVE-track Aspiration Catheter: Safety and Efficacy in the Swine Thrombectomy Model

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the WAVE-track aspiration catheter in a thrombectomy model using swine.
• Compared the WAVE-track aspiration catheter with the ACE catheter
• Conducted multiple thrombectomy passes
• Assessed vascular injury after procedures
• WAVE-track catheter showed high thrombectomy efficacy
• Safety profile remained favorable after multiple passes
• No significant increase in vascular injury compared to single pass
