Stent clot retrievers can be used to perform mechanical thrombectomies to treat cases of acute major arterial occlusion. This approach is associated with faster recanalization and better outcomes than internal treatments. The function of the stent retrievers is based on a technique known as confront clot scrambling method (CCSM), which usually involves the insertion of two stent retrievers (one from each side) and the simultaneous withdrawal of the retrievers with an equal force. It was determined that a stent used to remove the sham clot possessed a stronger ability for clot retrieval. However, this method involves inherent manipulation bias, and the results may vary due to operator-specific factors. Thus, this approach can be difficult to teach, especially to beginners.
