Solo navigation with SOFIA 6F aspiration catheter (SNAKE Technique) as a first-line mechanical thrombectomy approach: a single-center, large-cohort, real-world experience
SAC SNAKE navigation with aspiration is a safe, cost-effective, relatively simple, and fast MT method, achieving high first-pass rates and good final angiographic re sults. Se vere intracranial carotid artery at herosclerosis can significantly hinder SNAKE navigation. In cases of failed SNAKE or an insufficient aspiration effect, this method can be easily combined with a stent-retriever (SR) to ensure optimal navigation and high final angiographic success.
