BACKGROUND: Mechanical thrombectomy using stentrievers is the standard of care for emergent large vessel @entity64 . Data on the use of stentrievers in smaller caliber vessels are sparse. OBJECTIVE: To present our initial experience with the Mindframe Capture LP device, which was designed for mechanical thrombectomy in small cerebral arteries. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted of @entity1 who underwent Mindframe device assisted emergent thrombectomy. Clinical, imaging, procedural and early follow-up data were obtained. RESULTS: Nine @entity1 met inclusion criteria (5 @entity1 , median age 62   years). Median National Institute of Health @entity64 Scale (NIHSS) score was 18 (IQR 9-22), and 6 @entity1 received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator. Six @entity1 had @entity432 , and 2 @entity1 had distal M1 segment occlusions of the middle cerebral artery. One had @entity432 . Median vessel diameter at the @entity715 was 1.7   mm (IQR 1.5-2.5). In all 9 @entity1 the Mindframe device was used together with manual aspiration, with median groin puncture to recanalization time of 35   min (IQR 27-54), and median procedural time of 67   min (IQR 51-91). Final Thrombolysis in @entity385 score was 3 and 2b in 4 @entity1 each (89% total), and 2a in 1 @entity1 . No @entity1 had any postprocedural complications or symptomatic @entity1779 . Median postprocedure and discharge NIHSS were 4 and 1, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that the Mindframe device is safe and effective for rapid treatment of @entity64 involving small caliber intracranial vessels. Further study in a larger cohort is warranted.
