RETRIEVE-AMI Study

The SolitaireTM X revascularisation device is a self-expanding stent designed for dynamic clot integration with radiopaque markers that enhance visualisation of the optimal working length. After a thrombotic occlusion has been identified and crossed with a guidewire, the stent-retriever thrombectomy proceeds. A microcatheter (e.g., PhenomTM, MarksmanTM) is advanced over the guidewire and once it has traversed the thrombotic occlusion, the SolitaireTM X device is advanced through the microcatheter until the usable length of the stent extends past each side of the thrombus in the vessel. As the microcatheter is retracted to the proximal radiopaque marker of the stent, the stent self-expands and entangles the thrombus. The microcatheter and SolitaireTM X Revascularisation Device are withdrawn as a unit into the guide catheter under continuous aspiration. PCI then proceeds driven by clinical decision making and department guidelines.
