Description
Edgar Samaniego and co-authors report a 2026 conference study on a balloon-tipped tube used during clot removal, reusing the PROST trial. The balloon halts flow above the clot, which may ease capture and stop bits drifting off. Trial patients split by whether the tube was used.
More than three hundred patients fed the checks, split near evenly. Balloon cases reached independence at ninety days far more often. First-pass full reopening also ran higher with the balloon. Death at ninety days ran about half the non-balloon rate. Harmful bleeding and stray clots did not split. After full checks, the balloon still tied to independence on its own, the authors note.
