    Mechanical thrombectomy is the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusions.

  • 2

    Tigertriever, a radially adjustable device, allows tailored expansion and modulation of vessel wall pressure during thrombectomy.

  • 3

    The meta-analysis included three studies with 476 patients, comparing Tigertriever and self-expanding stent retrievers.

  • 4

    Tigertriever achieved a higher successful reperfusion rate of 82.8% compared to 77.8% for self-expanding stent retrievers.

  • 5

    Safety outcomes, including symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and functional independence, were similar between the two devices.
