Current thrombectomy (clot removal) options to treat patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke include thrombolytic drugs, aspiration and retrieval devices.

draw out the clot using suction through a catheter. Aspiration may be used alone, or in conjunction with retrieval devices.***
sometimes referred to as "stent retrievers," are typically self-expanding stents that capture the clot in or around the device struts and are then extracted through a guide catheter.***
The Versi Mechanical Thrombectomy System consists of a Flow Protector and a next generation Retriever.* The Retriever is delivered through a microcatheter and deployed into the clot. The Flow Protector is delivered through a guide catheter and deployed proximal to the clot, and regulates blood flow during clot retrieval without the need for a balloon guide catheter.****
