Standard deployment (passive unsheathing) of the stent-retriever results in incomplete opening of the stent, suboptimal interaction with the clot, and impaired clot integration into the stent lumen ( a ). With active push deployment (i.e., slightly pushing the stent wire while unsheathing the stent), the stent is fully opened and integration of the clot into the stent lumen is improved ( b ).
