✅ 2/10 patients required necrotic bowel resection due to delayed treatment.
✅ Follow-up (8.8 months avg.): No signs of recurrence or further complications.
Clinical Advantages of AcoStream™
Minimally invasive – Avoids high-risk open surgery.
Effective clot removal – High success in clearing mesenteric artery thrombi.
Safe for critical vascular interventions – No major bleeding or vascular injury reported.
Conclusion
AcoStream™ has proven to be a safe and effective PMT device for ASMAE, offering a promising alternative to conventional open surgery and other thrombectomy devices. It provides quick revascularization, minimal complications, and a faster recovery path, making it an ideal solution for interventional vascular procedures.
