ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
We describe our initial experience with the React 68 catheter (Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland), an FDA-approved catheter designed for aspiration in cases of emergent large vessel occlusion, as compared with the ACE 68 catheter (Penumbra, Alameda, CA).METHODS:
This observational study followed consecutive patients treated with the React catheter over a seven-month period at a comprehensive stroke center. Use of the device was per discretion of the operator. Patient demographics, thrombectomy technique, reperfusion scoring, and disposition were assessed. Performance was compared with patients treated with the ACE 68 catheter over a comparable period.RESULTS:
We treated 47 patients using the React 68 catheter using either aspiration alone or a combination of aspiration and stent retriever technique. The catheter was used in a variety of circumstances including proximal and distal occlusions involving the anterior and posterior circulation. Modified TICI 2b-3 was achieved in 45 of the 47 patients. The React 68 was comparable to the ACE 68 by all performance measures.CONCLUSION:
The React 68 catheter is a large-bore reperfusion catheter with trackability suitable for use in direct aspiration for recanalization of emergent large vessel occlusion.Palabras clave
