JET 7 XTRA Flex reperfusion catheter related complications during endovascular thrombectomy

Endovascular thrombectomy has revolutionized the management of acute ischemic stroke from emergent large vessel occlusion. Continued technological advancement in the field, as evidenced by successive introduction of large bore aspiration catheters with enhanced trackability and large inner diameter, has played a major role in achieving fast and robust recanalization and improved clinical outcome. Here, we present three patients with intraprocedural device malfunction related to the JET 7 XTRA Flex reperfusion catheter.

Automated summary

The use of large bore aspiration catheters has greatly improved recanalization in endovascular thrombectomy procedures, leading to better clinical outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke.
