  • *Minimal clot displacement.

  • †The rate of white clot removal found for Preset 6–30 was significantly higher than the rates for Catch 3–15, Preset LT 3–20, Eric 3–20, and Trevo 3–20 (60% vs 20%; p=0.031).

  • ‡The rate of red clot removal found for Solitaire 4–20/6–30, Preset 4–20, and Catch 6–30 was significantly higher than the rates for Separator 3D, Eric 3–20, Preset LT 3–20, and Catch 3–15 (93% vs 46%; p=0.016 or 93% vs 53%; p=0.031).

  • §The rate of red clot removal found for Preset 6–30 was significantly higher than the rates for Separator 3D (100% vs 46%; p=0.008), Eric 3–20, Preset LT 3–20, Catch 3–15 (100% vs 53%; p=0.016), Trevo 3–20, and Eric 4–24 (100% vs 60%; p=0.031).
