Summary
The Mindframe device shows promise for treating acute strokes in small brain arteries, achieving rapid recanalization with no complications. This study suggests its safety and effectiveness in this challenging patient group.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Interventional Neuroradiology
- Vascular Neurology
Background:
- Mechanical thrombectomy is standard for large vessel occlusion stroke.
- Limited data exists on stentriever use in smaller cerebral vessels.
Purpose of the Study:
- Evaluate the initial experience with the Mindframe Capture LP device for mechanical thrombectomy in small cerebral arteries.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of 9 patients undergoing emergent thrombectomy with the Mindframe device.
- Data collected included clinical, imaging, procedural, and follow-up information.
Main Results:
- The Mindframe device, used with manual aspiration, achieved rapid recanalization (median 35 min) in 9 patients with small vessel occlusions (median diameter 1.7 mm).
- 89% of patients achieved Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction scores of 2b or 3.
- No procedural complications or symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage occurred.
Conclusions:
- The Mindframe device appears safe and effective for acute stroke treatment in small intracranial vessels.
- Further investigation in a larger patient cohort is recommended.
