(author), Boodt, Nikki (author), Gijsen, F.J.H. (author), Cahalane, R.M.E. (author)Background<br/>Clot composition, contraction, and mechanical properties are likely determinants of endovascular thrombectomy success. A pre-interventional estimation of these properties is hypothesized to aid in selecting the most suitable treatment for different types of thrombi. Here we determined the association between the aforementioned...journal article 2023

(author), Van Es, Adriaan C.G.M. (author), Van Der Lugt, Aad (author), Gijsen, F.J.H. (author)Background and Purpose: Mechanical properties of thromboemboli play an important role in the efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. However, very limited data on mechanical properties of human stroke thrombi are available. We aimed to mechanically characterize thrombi retrieved with EVT, and to assess the...journal article 2021
