Get to Know Your Stent Retriever Devices [Videos]

 

Interventional approaches to treating stroke involve inserting a clot-removing device into the afflicted vessel to physically grab and remove the blockage. This therapy has shown great promise for stroke patient outcomes and several studies analyzing intervention have been stopped early due to efficacy of the treatment.

Take a look at neurointervention up close and personal - from two different perspectives. Covidien and Stryker are two companies leading the way in intervention with their respective Solitaire and Trevo devices. And since a picture is worth a thousand words, we thought we'd go a step further and show you video of how each actually works inside the brain. Enjoy!
