Impact of Balloon-Guided Catheter Position on First-Pass Effect in Mechanical Thrombectomy for Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusion
Distal balloon-guided catheter placement within 24 mm of the proximal petrous ICA independently predicted higher first-pass effect achievement and greater procedural efficiency. Quantitative balloon-guided catheter position assessment may provide a practical intraoperative metric to optimize mechanical thrombectomy strategies.
