Overview

This retrospective review evaluates outcomes of transradial thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke, suggesting effective recanalization without complications.

Key Points

  • Assess the feasibility and outcomes of using the Zebra catheter for transradial mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke.
  • Conducted a retrospective review of patients undergoing thrombectomy at two centers.
  • Utilized Zebra laser-cut catheter via radial sheaths for access.
  • Measured primary outcomes including access success, recanalization rates, and complications.
  • Radial access success rate was 96.2% (25 out of 26 patients).
  • Successful recanalization (TICI 2b-3) occurred in 88.5% (23 out of 26 patients).
  • No access-site complications were reported during the procedures.
  • Mean fluoroscopy time was 23.07 minutes, with 88.5% of procedures rated ‘easy’ by operators.
