Summary

Clinical outcomes, safety, and recanalization rates using the Merci retriever embolectomy device are similar to those seen in previous prospective studies. In this study, investigators compared data from the Merci Registry with pooled data from the Mechanical Embolus Removal in Cerebral Ischemia [MERCI] and Multi MERCI trials to evaluate the clinical outcomes, safety, and recanalization rates of the Merci retriever embolectomy device in a “real world” setting.
