BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Mechanical thrombectomy presents today a promising alternative to traditional @entity64 therapies. Our aim with this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Catch mechanical thrombectomy device in the treatment of @entity64 and report the angiographic results and clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed an analysis of 40 consecutive @entity1 with @entity385 treated with the Catch device at our @entity4207 center. Forty @entity1 were treated with the device: 25 with anterior circulation @entity64 and 15 with posterior circulation @entity64 . Thirty seven (92.5%) @entity1 received an additional treatment to aid revascularization, including 36 @entity1 treated with rtPA (mean dose of 35 mg). RESULTS: The mean age was 63.5 years (range, 31-82 years; 55% @entity1 ). The median NIHSS score at presentation was 18 (range, 3-38). The mean symptom-to-procedure start time was 440 minutes (range, 150-2637 minutes). Recanalization (TIMI 2-3) was achieved in 26/40 (65%). Symptomatic @entity548 occurred in 18%. Procedural complications occurred in 6 @entity1 without clinical consequences: 4 clot fragmentations and 2 @entity2553 . Data were missing for 4 @entity1 at 90 days. Ninety-day mortality was 41%; good 90-day functional outcome ( @entity70334 ) was achieved by 39% (14/36). Good neurologic outcomes at 90 days were more frequent (56.5% versus 7.7%), and mortality rates were lower (30% versus 61.5%) with successful compared with unsuccessful recanalization. CONCLUSIONS: In our retrospective case series, the Catch device appears effective in achieving recanalization and improving 90-day outcome in @entity1 with acute @entity385 .
