@coffeeeater Where???!!!

@coffeeeater I thought about that too. Losing a piece of the clot AFTER it had been pulled all the way back! That would suck.
I just found out about this procedure only about 2 hours ago so I don't know much about it.
@coffeeeater Not any worse than the big clot blocking blood to ALL the branches downstream.
Does the spirals retraction into the catheter at 1:51 not cause portions to dislodge?
