Summary

Experimental data suggest that the novel Trevo device is highly effective at achieving immediate reperfusion of occluded arteries without causing any clinically significant disruption of vascular integrity [Nogueira RG et al. J Neurointerv Surg 2011]. This article also reports on the promising findings from the Phase 4 Thrombectomy REvascularization of Large Vessel Occlusions in Acute Ischemic Stroke trial [TREVO; NCT01088672].
