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.

Covidien and Stryker are two companies leading the way in intervention with their respective Solitaire and Trevo devices.
