The results of the Imperative Trial have been published! This is a prospective, multi-center trial at 26 US centers evaluating 260 patients with LVO within 8h of onset treated using the Zoom system, including a novel 0.088 catheter. Successful reperfusion was achieved within 3 passes in 83% of patients, which exceeds contemporary metrics. #thombectomy @chriskellnerMD @RaulNogueiraMD bit.ly/3IRyiEX

In this study by @JPMidtlien, et al., post-recanalization target vessel re-occlusion (TVR) after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) affects 16% of patients who underwent 10 min post EVT angiogram, 70% of those had a lower TICI score. Should angiographic evaluation at 10 mins post EVT become standard? #Stroke #EVT #Neurointervention #MedicalResearch #TICI
