Multicenter Study
Initial multicenter technical experience with the Apollo device for minimally invasive intracerebral hematoma evacuation.
No conventional surgical intervention has been shown to improve outcomes for patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) compared with medical management. ⋯ Minimally invasive evacuation of ICH and intraventricular hemorrhage can be achieved with the Apollo system. Future work will be required to determine which subset of patients are most likely to benefit from this promising technology.
