Impacts of prolonged intracranial catheter dwell time
Observations from practice and data analysis have shown that the duration of mechanical thrombectomy procedures are a strong predictor of outcome even with successful procedures. A large multicenter study was conducted which gives insight into choices between catheter types, and strategic decisions to be made during prolonged procedures.

1. Department of Neurosurgery, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
