What do we expect of Mechanical Thrombectomy in 2023?

Today when you perform mechanical thrombectomy what matters most in your choice of technique and device?

You might find the answer in this presentation by Prof Vincent Costalat during the recent LINNC Paris 2023 where he introduces his clinical experience using RED, the newest aspiration catheters from Penumbra, along with Penumbra ENGINE, Penumbra’s aspiration system.

Penumbra, the Pioneer of Aspiration technology since the early days of MT and their latest devices could provide a new aspiration paradigm where aspiration can be seen as a fast, effective and easily learned approach.
Prof. Costalat shows why aspiration works and explains why the preservation of Lumen Integrity is essential in the setup with aspiration. For an optimised handling the force transmission is crucial and needs a certain stiffness but must be atraumatic at the tip to allow his favourite manoeuvre. He praises the reduced friction which allows a better trackability by comparing the catheter generations, and why the newest generation made him switch his standard MT procedure.

These cases are followed by an in-depth and probing discussion led by LINNC Course Directors, so join us here to see why Prof Vincent Costalat believes we are at the threshold of a new era in aspiration!
