AB  - SUMMARY: A novel swine model was developed to investigate the underlying reasons for the failure of aspiration thrombectomy. The model allows direct visualization of the target artery during thrombectomy in vessels of different sizes. The behavior of the target artery undergoing aspiration thrombectomy was recorded with high-resolution digital microscopy and fluoroscopic visualization, providing valuable insight into how the different sizes of treated arteries affect the effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy.CCAcommon carotid arteryLVOlarge-vessel occlusionSCAsuperficial cervical arteryTIMIThrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction
