Temporary flow arrest using EMBOGUARD™ balloon guide catheter may improve functional outcomes in acute stroke thrombectomy: a multicenter retrospective study
Background Balloon guide catheters (BGCs) have demonstrated benefits in mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), including improved recanalization rates and reduced distal embolization. The EMBOGUARD™ balloon guide catheter (Johnson & Johnson Neurovascular, Irvine, CA) represents a novel design wit...
