Modest volumetric flow reductions can lead to significant increases in catheter tip velocity, impacting thromboaspiration.
Experimental model comparisons reveal how different catheters influence flow dynamics and clot behavior during thrombectomy.
Two catheter setups demonstrated varying effects on flow rate and tip velocity, particularly among super large-bore devices.
These findings suggest considering flow dynamics is essential for improving thrombectomy efficacy and procedural safety.

Experimental model shows flow dynamics affect clot behavior in thrombectomy, indicating optimal catheter design is crucial.

Volders et al. (2025) studied this question.
