Meta Analysis
Thrombus Histology as It Relates to Mechanical Thrombectomy: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.
Appropriate thrombus-device interaction is critical for recanalization. Histology can serve as a proxy for mechanical properties, and thus inform technique selection. ⋯ RBC-rich thrombi were associated with better recanalization outcomes and shorter procedure times, suggesting that preinterventional compositional characterization may yield important prognostic and therapeutic guidance.
