Balloon catheter as a model of cerebral emboli in humans.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A striking similarity has been found between the distribution of occlusions in various cerebral arteries and the statistical regularity of the pathways of balloon drifting freely in the blood stream. Based on the assumption that the course of a balloon is determined by the same hydrodynamic laws as that of an embolus of similar size, it is concluded that the majority of occlusions of the cerebral arteries are of embolic origin. Emboli, then, might also be an explanation for most of the TIAs.

Reduction in distal emboli with proximal flow control during mechanical thrombectomy: a quantitative in vitro study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of proximal flow control on efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy in an in vitro middle cerebral artery occlusion. METHODS Three independent variables, including clot type, device (Merci Retriever, Solitaire FR, and Trevo devices), and use of a balloon guide catheter, were used to ascertain the impact of proximal flow control on the size ...
متن کاملEfficacy of Balloon-Guiding Catheter for Mechanical Thrombectomy in Patients with Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of balloon guiding catheter (BGC) during thrombectomy in anterior circulation ischemic stroke. METHODS Sixty-two patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke were treated with thrombectomy using a Solitaire stent from 2011 to 2016. Patients were divided into the BGC group (n=24, 39%) and the non-BGC group (n=38, 61%). The number of retrievals, pr...
متن کاملTwo different calibrated-leak balloons: experimental work and application in humans.
Two different types of latex calibrated-leak balloon catheters have been developed. One consists of a Teflon catheter with a detachable latex balloon and is used to embolize branches of the external carotid artery. The other consists of a Silastic catheter with a nondetachable latex balloon and is used to embolize brain arteriovenous malformations. An experimental model and animal experiments h...
متن کاملRisk of distal embolization with stent retriever thrombectomy and ADAPT.
BACKGROUND There is a discrepancy in clinical outcomes and the achieved recanalization rates with stent retrievers in the endovascular treatment of ischemic stroke. It is our hypothesis that procedural release of embolic particulate may be one contributor to poor outcomes and is a modifiable risk. The goal of this study is to assess various treatment strategies that reduce the risk of distal em...
متن کاملCarotid artery stenting protected with an emboli containment system.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Fear of distal embolization and stroke has aroused concern regarding carotid stenting. Devices to protect the cerebral circulation may make carotid stenting safer. METHODS A multidisciplinary study group tested a balloon occlusion-aspiration emboli entrapment device in conjunction with carotid stenting. The device consists of an elastomeric balloon on a steerable wire w...
