Acronyms denote access/care and landmark RCT results. The paper used endoscopy/cautery. ICH isn't abscess that you navigate a drain / "low profile device", it reqs active evac, esp as time metrics are pushing for tx<24 hrs. It's not "ego"...it's better patient care.

Surely that is a larger and more pressing societal need, and an easier transfer of skill sets, no? 🤔

@ehsan_m_h76 @sm_sinuhe @txmed @AaronCohenGadol @rezvani53 @kazmo_sarp I think if you just occlude distally (coil or clip), the remaining cervical/skull-base ICA segment will go on to thrombose. Would make sure patient passes test-balloon-occlusion. Otherwise supplement with STA-MCA, then sac distally (doubt you'll need high-flow here).
