Abstract:
A correlation between the susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) and red thrombi has been identified in MRI. We hypothesized that the Embotrap allow better retrieving of SVS+ thrombi. The AdaptatiVe Endovascular strategy to the CloT MRI in large intracranial vessel Occlusion (VECTOR) trial is a multicenter, prospective and randomized study designed to compare a first-line strategy combining Embotrap added to contact aspiration (CA) versus CA alone in patients with SVS+ occlusions.
