Representative examples. Images immediately after aspiration by the Thrombuster III SL catheter and Export Advance catheter, respectively (A, D). The suspended embolic matter for the Thrombuster III SL catheter and Export Advance catheter, respectively (B, E). Final images of the retrieval of Filtrap with an expropriation catheter (C, F). Panels C and F are representative for all samples tested, as retrieving the distal protection device produced similar results. The length of the suspended embolus matter is indicated by the black star.

Background: We assessed performance of six aspiration catheters for distal embolization using a distal protection filter in an in vitro experiment. In acute myocardial infarction, a distal protection filter is used for lesions likely to induce a distal embolism, and an aspiration catheter is used for filter no-flow. It has not been known which asp...

... The embolus matter was captured in Filtrap by the artificial flow and was aspirated by each aspiration catheter device through the original syringe packaged with the aspiration catheter. The length of the suspended embolus matter was defined as the proximal edge of the brown gelatin from the Filtrap's distal end and was measured for each sample (Fig. ...
