| As stated earlier, the trial that was done was primarily a safety trial and the endpoint measure was the recanalization of the artery. |
| Other challenges with IV approach is that some severe strokes are due to occlusion of a major cerebral artery up to 2-3mm in diameter and therefore IV tPA is less likely to provide recanalization. |
| Sclerotherapy for vascular malformations is often limited by luminal recanalization. |
| And a white thrombus in the DES was confirmed at the time of recanalization. |
| The economic cost of not prioritizing implementation of even basic cerebral recanalization techniques is staggering. |
| However, mechanical recanalization techniques are not always successful. |
