Good stroke outcomes seen after forced suction thrombectomy
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 29 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSE17-01 | Room N229The Penumbra revascularization system is an excellent recanalization tool for ischemic stroke patients; however, it can't recanalize every occluded vessel. Fortunately, a simple modification of Penumbra makes it possible to recanalize many other cases, say researchers from South Korea.
