The ‘Slingshot’ technique: balloon-guide assisted tracking of distal systems past tortuosity and ledges in thrombectomy
For neurovascular procedures in which advancement of an intermediate catheter or other equipment is limited by ledges or tortuosity, the Slingshot technique is a safe and effective way to reach the intended target position and does not require additional catheters or devices.
