Mechanical thrombectomy using the Solitaire stent in a left main coronary artery: A novel approach to coronary thrombus retrieval
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions"
DOI: 10.1002/ccd.26545
Abstract: The Solitaire stent is a self‐expanding nitinol, fully retrievable stent that was originally designed for applications in cerebral circulation. Expanded indications for its use in mechanical embolectomy during acute ischemic stroke have proven safe and… read more here.
