Welcome to the Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) Innovations page. Dive into the latest on MeVO, Double Stenting, and Combination Therapy and discover how they may improve stroke outcomes for patients worldwide.
Let's rAISe the bar
At the core of this progress is innovation. We want to continue driving these advancements by facilitating conversations about the latest topics and treatments that can make a difference for the millions of patients whose lives are affected by stroke.
Using the last Clinical Evidence we’re discussing the benefits of MeVO, Double Stenting, and Combination therapy and their potential to positively impact patient outcomes.
Interested in joining the conversation?
Explore the topics below and let's continue to work together to
rAISe the bar for AIS innovation.
MeVOs (medium vessel occlusions) are seen as the next frontier of endovascular therapy, and we want to work and learn together with you to offer patients improved access to the best treatment options for distal occlusions.
Compared to aspiration-alone and stent retriever-alone techniques, combination therapy has been shown to significantly achieve higher successful recanalization rates at first pass, facilitate navigation through vascular tortuosity and to decrease procedural variability.1-5
Novel technique that involves simultaneous deployment of two stent retrievers’ side by side into the clot and retrieval as a single unit for thrombectomy. Learn the pros and cons from the top Double Stenting Technique users around Western Europe.6
Explore real-world clinical data highlighting the safety and efficacy of procedures using Medtronic AIS products, and see how these advancements are shaping acute ischemic stroke care.
