Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients typically involves use of stent retrievers or aspiration catheters alone or in combination. For in silico trials of AIS patients, it is crucial to incorporate the possibility of thrombus fragmentati ...

Thrombus mechanics

How can we contribute to improve diagnostics and treatment?

Acute ischemic stroke occurs when a thrombus obstructs a cerebral artery, leading to sub-optimal blood perfusion to brain tissue. A recently developed, preventive treatment is the endovascular stroke treatment (EVT), which is a minimally invasive procedure, involving the use o ...

Treatment of acute ischemic stroke has been recently improved with the introduction of endovascular mechanical thrombectomy, a minimally invasive procedure able to remove a clot using aspiration devices and/or stent-retrievers. Despite the promising and encouraging results, im ...

An acute ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and is caused by a thrombus that occludes a cerebral artery. This thrombus reduces the cerebral blood flow and causes irreversible brain tissue damage. Mechanical thrombectomy is a safe and effective technique to remo ...
Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) is an abrupt onset of a focal neurological deficit due to the occlusion of a cerebral artery caused by thrombosis or embolism. According to the World Health Organization, stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world. One of the available tr ...
