Journal of Neuerointerventional Surgery: Preclinical evaluation of the ANCD thrombectomy device: safety and efficacy in a swine clot model

Sanchez S, Bailey L, Ducore R, Andersson T, Nogueira R, Cognard C, Ribo M, Villanova H, Rios A, Galve I. “Preclinical evaluation of the ANCD thrombectomy device: safety and efficacy in a swine clot model”

Summary:
The Advanced Thrombectomy System (ANCD) provides a new funnel component designed to reduce clot fragmentation and facilitate retrieval in patients with stroke by locally restricting flow, allowing distal aspiration in combination with a stent retriever (SR). Results in a swine clot model support the high efficacy of the ANCD+SR without causing clinically significant vessel injury potentially related to the new funnel component.
