Mechanical thrombectomy using the Nimbus stent-retriever - initial experiences in a single-center observational study.
Observational study in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe Nimbus stent-retriever (NSR) was developed for mechanical thrombectomy of wall-adherent thrombi in cerebral arteries. It features a novel geometry with a proximal spiral section and a distal barrel section. The new device is designed to retrieve tough clots with a micro-clamping technique. In the first case series reporting on the NSR, we share our initial experience about the first 12 treated cases.
methodsIn total, 12 patients (5 men, 7 women; mean age 78 years) with occlusion of the internal carotid artery or the middle cerebral artery (M1 or M2 segment) were treated with the NSR, 11 after unsuccessful recanalization attempts with conventional stent-retrievers or aspiration thrombectomy.
resultsRetrieving maneuvers with the NSR recovered a thrombus in 7 patients (58%), of which 6 resulted in vessel recanalization mTICI ≥ 2b. Successful recanalization improved the mTICI score by a median of 3 points. In 5 of 7 cases, this required only one thrombectomy maneuver. In 5 cases, no improvement of recanalization could be achieved with the NSR (1-3 attempts). No NSR-related complications occurred in this case series.
conclusionsIn our initial experience, the NSR appeared to be a safe and effective second-line stent-retriever after unsuccessful MT with conventional stent-retrievers or aspiration thrombectomy allowing for mTICI ≥ 2b rescue thrombectomy in ab 50% of cases. No NSR associated complications occurred in our case series.
