Early experience with the Aristotle Colossus 0.035’ macrowire for mechanical thrombectomy in 30 consecutive cases

Recent literature continues to demonstrate the successful role of large-bore aspiration catheters in thrombus ingestion during mechanical thrombectomy. However catheter-to-microwire step-off and distal navigation are ongoing challenges in thrombectomy. A new to market 0.035' macrowire (Aristotle 35 Colossus Guidewire, Scientia Vascular, West Vale City, UT) may address such challenges. We report here our early experience in 30 mechanical thrombectomy cases.
